Choosing Your Name and Starting Lessons
After students have been added, they can begin working through the lessons.
The first lesson is an introductory overview to teach students how to sit
properly and where to place their hands on the keyboard. The other lessons
help students learn new keys, build speed and accuracy, and test their
proficiency.
Students can follow these steps to start work in the KeyWords SmartApplet.
1. After starting KeyWords, use the arrow keys to move the cursor down
next to your name in the list. Then, press enter.
2. Type your password and press enter. (The password was assigned when
you were added as a student.)
3. To start the first lesson, move the cursor next to Start Here! and press
enter.
4. Follow the instructions on the NEO screen to learn about the space bar
and enter key, how to sit properly, and where to put your hands on the
keyboard.
Note: This lesson will refer you to the keyboard picture. You or your
teacher can find this picture in the KeyWords Extras folder on the
AlphaSmart Manager 2 CD, in the SmartApplets folder on the NEO 1 and
NEO 2 Documentation CD, or in the KeyWords RP resources. For more
about the resources available to KeyWords teachers, see page 6-48.
