They all worked!!!

    Success!!!! We were all able to get on the computers and start keyboarding!!!! The kids were so excited. We were able to keyboard everyday. I realized that I need to get the kids through the keyboarding program before we are able to do much with writing and spelling.
    The next step is to get the kids onto the school folder. They will then be able to access all the learning games that I have loaded to help reinforce the concepts they are learning. Hopefully they will be able to access them this week.
    One problem that we are having is getting them in and out of the cart. The computers have a coating on them so they don't slide easily and they need to go in the opposite way of the one next to it.  They also get confused on which power cord is theirs. The cart is pretty small for all the computers. It is taking us about 15 minutes to get them all in the cart. I think I will need to have the kids get them in the morning then put them back before school is out. They do fit really well in their desks. I wonder how long the battery would last? Maybe we can keep them in their desks for 2 days then plug them in. Hopefully, the kids will get faster at putting them away.
