Learning With Computers Level 3 is part of a series of project based keyboarding texts. Using the computer as a learning tool, students learn and apply computer skills as they work through the cross-curricular projects. In Level 3, students apply the computer skills they have been introduced to in Learning with Computers Level K, 1, and 2. Projects are based on reading, writing, math, social studies, and art, and have a keyboarding practice page included. Students are introduced to touch tying (15-19 wpm), computer operations such as file creation and storing, accessing network folders, cutting and pasting, spreadsheets and formulas, and graphics and multimedia. This 192 page text is softcover, top spiral, and has an easel back. It is a standalone product that also supports Bernie's Typing Travels Keyboarding software.
