National Parks Project and Blogging (After You Type for a bit)

Hi all,

Today, you will begin a project on one of our National Parks.

I love the following video from the National Parks and Conservation Association - be sure to watch it and think about what National Park most interests you, and you would like to research:




I would like you to explore the National Park Service or the National Parks and Conservation Association Websites, and pick two or three possible parks to research:

First, you must do 15 minutes of keyboarding, though (unless you have reached the 30 WPM mark):

Remember, you will login using your lastnamefirstinitial (morellm) and your password will be: htstype.

Keep working through the lessons, making sure you keep your keyboard covers on, your fingers on the home keys, and you get five stars for each lesson before you move on.

For those of you who have reached 30 WPM, please start early on the National Parks Project.  Browse possible parks, and go to the blog and post your proposed parks and WHY you would like to research them:
