Moody's Keyboarding & BCT Blog!
Welcome to Mrs. Moody's Keyboarding & BCT Blog!
Keyboarding and Business Computer Technology (BCT) are required classes for 7th and 8th grade students. Classes meet every other day in the CTE computer lab. Both curriculum areas are governed by the State of North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. In Keyboarding, students learn the touch method of typing, hardware and software, business word processing documents, proofreading, and computer ethics. Keyboarding lays the foundation for the 8th grade Business Computer Technology Course. The BCT curriculum is designed to prepare students for high school and the workforce. Word processing, spreadsheets, databases, telecommunications, and multimedia are the primary focal points in the 8th grade BCT curriculum. Special student projects are often integrated into various activities that involve the use of special hardware devices such as digital cameras and scanners, and the use of special software: iPhoto, iMovie, and PowerPoint when time allows.
