Recommendations General Keyboarding Recommendations Saskatchewan Education recognizes the need for quality instruction of keyboarding skills in the elementary grades. The following recommendations should be considered. Touch keyboarding is provided in the elementary grades so that students can transfer their keyboarding skills thereby making efficient use of computers in all subject areas. Production aspects of the traditional typewriting courses such as proper formatting of correspondence, tabulations, and manuscripts should not be taught extensively until students reach higher grades. Quality instruction in touch keyboarding skills should take place before students are expected to make extensive use of the keyboard or typewriter in language arts, science, mathematics, or any other area of study. The skill of touch keyboarding should be integrated across the curriculum and applied whenever students are required to use or have access to the computer/typewriter. Because the skill is to be used in all subject areas, it is recommended that the time required to teach touch keyboarding be taken proportionally from all areas of study. Adequate practice time is necessary to make the students comfortable with all aspects of touch keyboarding before integration of the skill across the curriculum.

Introduction Purpose Guidelines for keyboarding at the Middle Level (grades 6, 7, 8, and 9) is a program designed to provide students with touch keyboarding and information processing skills. Keyboarding at the Middle Level aims to: develop an awareness and understanding of the value and importance of touch keyboarding. develop an awareness and understanding of the impact this skill may have on productivity in school, personal, and future work environments. provide the opportunity for all students to acquire and apply the personal life skill of touch keyboarding. provide the opportunity for students to use the computer effectively and efficiently to process information. provide students with knowledge of word processing and formatting applications and demonstrations of how the computer, the keyboard, and integrated software can be used as powerful tools in life-long learning. develop the ability to apply touch keyboarding and formatting skills to written communications while developing the vocabulary to communicate with peers, teachers, and the community concerning touch keyboarding and formatting. develop work habits, attitudes, communication, problem solving, and independent thinking skills that will enhance school, personal, and future work experiences.

Enlighten Me Village Home PTA Everyday Literacy How You Can Help Your Child Operate in the Electronic Age When You Don't Own a Home Computer As a young family with three children on a limited budget, it was years before we could afford a home computer. Our financial situation didn't stop our children from wanting one either. As home computers proliferated and our children entered school, we worried that they would fall educationally behind other children. We worried that without a home computer to reinforce their school based computer skills, those skills would diminish. We needn't have worried, our children did just fine. In fact, they taught us that there are many ways that kids can bridge the digital divide even when they don't have a personal computer at home. Lessons I Learned from Emily: If you don't have a home computer, take your child to your place of work, or a friend's place of work, and show them what computers are and what they can do.

...back home ...or check out Music and The Home Computer: Part Two: Music Teaching and Learning Software by John M. Zeigler and Namcy L. Ostromencki Preview In the first article in this series, we took a look at how you can enhance your knowledge and enjoyment of music through the use of "music appreciation" software on your computer. However, we hope you will find yourself wanting to make music yourself someday. Your home computer can also help you learn about making and playing an instrument. In this article we'll talk about some of the software that is available to help you learn to play; computer software may not be a replacement for the time and commitment of a private teacher, but it can be very helpful, especially for busy professionals with limited time, and even fun. If you've ever wanted to learn about music in more depth or to play an instrument, read on. We'll take you on a tour of some of the best software of this type available. The Computer as Instrument About Software There is a large volume of mostly good software available for various aspects of musical training. Just as there are fewer packages available for instruments other than keyboards, there are fewer readily accessible sources of unbiased reviews of the software.

Computer/Music Keyboard Setup When it comes to attaching a single music keyboard (assuming it has at least MIDI outsee Fig 1 ) to a computer (PC) there are a number of options: Fig. 1 A) Choice of music keyboards The auto-accompaniment style keyboard is probably the best for all round usability. Depending on it's specifications, it should be loud enough(eg.15 watts) to be heard in an average sized classroom and therefore be useful to accompany singing or drama. If it has the GM specification it will have it's 128 sounds (patches) to play around with. The auto-accompaniment facility means that not only can different styles of music be applied to live situations but when composing and/or recording onto a computer music sequencer, these styles can supply a "quick fix" arrangement as distinct from laying down one sound-track at a time. Click on the styles below to get an idea of what can be heard on some of the Roland keyboards. Each style may also have one or two variations for inserting into a bridge or chorus. I've included these in the examples below as well as some endings.

A "pillar" of this challenge is, "Modern computers and learning devices will be accessible to every student." With computers accessible to every student, most teachers and experts in education say the teaching of keyboarding is a given.

58. Instructor And Student Attitudes Renfrow (199 1) indicated that he was unable to find a single article about the useof computer and keyboard technology in keyboard teaching at the university http://music.utsa.edu/tdml/conf-IV/IV-Chan.html

Instructor and Student Attitudes Towards Computerized Keyboard Teaching on the University Level Susan Chan, Washington State University Today there is a profusion of computer-assisted instruction in nearly all fields and disciplines, and a substantial amount of research has been conducted in this area. The many advantages (Stevens, 1991; Hoffmann, 1991) and some disadvantages of computer-assisted instruction have been identified and documented. Much research has been done in computer-assisted music instruction, especially in music theory. However, authors such as Rees and Michelis (1990) pointed out that instrumental pedagogy in a computer-assisted learning situation had received little treatment in the literature. Among the articles published in the area of computer-assisted piano or keyboard instruction, a large majority concern the use of software programs in private piano studios and benefits experienced in those studios. (Litterst, 1987-88; Holland, 1984; Kunitz, 1984; Young, 1990.) While many of these articles are informative and interesting, they are mostly of the non-scholarly type. There is a pressing need for more academically-oriented studies to be done on the use of computer-assisted keyboard instruction, especially on the university or college level. Renfrow (199 1) indicated that he was unable to find a single article about the use of computer and keyboard technology in keyboard teaching at the university level. While technological equipment being used needs to be examined and evaluated from time to time to ensure good quality, one must not neglect the importance in the computer-assisted learning environment of contextual conditions such as student and instructor attitudes (Lymenstull, 1991), learner traits (Higgins, 1992) as well as curriculum design. Effective examination of such conditions is greatly helpful and can lead to improvement of systems and possible breakthroughs in undertaking new directions. The study of attitudes is important, and it is helpful to study the contributing factors to such attitudes. These factors may include background information such as age, sex, computer background, and musical background. Through this type of study, one can determine the best learning environment for each group of students.
