Requiring Students to Complete KeyWords Lessons in
Order
If you want your students to complete the KeyWords lessons in the order
listed, follow these steps:
1. In KeyWords, use the arrow keys to select Teacher options and press
enter.
2. Type the master password and press enter.
3. Select Turn sequential lessons ON (or OFF) and press enter.
4. The next screen will show you whether the sequential lesson requirement
is on or off; then, it will ask if you want to turn it on (if it’s off) or off (if it’s
on). If you want to change the setting, press Y for yes. On NEO 2, press
enter to finish changing the setting.
Setting a Pre-Test and Post-Test Level for KeyWords
Students
Before your students begin working in KeyWords, you may want to set the
pre-test and post-test level to indicate whether the student is a beginning
typist, an intermediate typist, or an advanced typist. This determines the
difficulty of the pre-test and post-test. If you do not set the level, it defaults to
Intermediate Typist.
