Second graders will continue to develop basic computer skills using the Type to Learn and Scholastic Keys programs. This year they also will be introduced to the basics of research. Students will learn how to complete simple note cards using a variety of refererence materials which include books,
encyclopedias, and guided Internet sites. They will then complete a PowerPoint presentation on the the animal they chose to research. Unlike kindergarten
and first grade, students will no longer use a template, but will complete the actual project from scratch.
