Mrs. Cegers-Coleman
Room 1182
Ruth Doyle Middle School

Conway, AR
I liked typing when I was in school. Some students feel the same way. Other students say the class is boring. We all have likes and dislikes, but regardless of our feelings about them, rules are expected to be followed, or consequences occur.

2. In addition to all rules listed in the Ruth Doyle Middle School handbook, the following are classroom rules for Computerized Keyboarding
BE PREPARED
BE POLITE
BE POSITIVE

3. BE PREPARED
Bring all required materials ready to use in class which includes your
name tag
student planner
keyboarding section in your binder
clean notebook paper
any keyboarding papers
a pencil or pen
Be in your seat and ready to begin working when the tardy bell rings

4. BE POLITE Communicate by listening to others without interrupting.
Raise your hand to question or respond.
Speak clearly.
Respect others.
Be kind.
Keep your hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.

8. INTERNET USAGE
Internet usage is at the discretion of Mrs. Cegers-Coleman and must be directly related to a keyboarding assignment, unless she gives you specific permission to do otherwise.
Mrs. Cegers-Coleman’s web site contains several resources we may use in class, like link to eSchool (HAC), portaportal, and sites for more typing practice, for example.
