WELCOME!!!

BUSINESS FOUNDATION 101 is designed for business educators. We want to encourage our new educators and strengthen our veteran educators. Our main purpose is to assist one another in educating our students and equip them with work readiness skills.

New educators, we hope this site will assist you in preparing for your first days in the field. Veterans, we want to give you new and exciting ideas as you continue to educate our students. At BUSINESS FOUNDATION 101, every year is a new year with new ideas to introduce lessons, new skills to implement, and eliminating routine activities.

Our students have to learn foundational courses to move to the next level, and we need to make sure they understand the need for basic knowledge. Educators, we must make sure our students learn more as the progress from 7th to 12th grade but keep them strong in their foundational skills of business. Let us stand firm on the solid foundation of business. Welcome to BUSINESS FOUNDATION 101!!!

Learning Younger

Some states are introducing Keyboarding to Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, etc.  By children using facebook, twitter, texting, and so on, wouldn't it be more beneficial to introduce Keyboarding at a younger age?  I find it more difficult to "motive" students in the 8th grade to type accurately.  If they are introduced to it younger, when they are taking Keyboarding in the 7th or 8th grade, the subject could focus more on building speed and introducing programs.  What do you think business teachers?

    I understand exactly what you are saying. My 10th grade English students have yet to submit a formal writing assignment. To be honest here, I am actually dreading it because of what I have already seen in the informal short writings they have done in class. The spelling, sentence structure, word choice---OH MY!

    You have made a very good point about teaching keyboarding at an earlier age. I subbed for the keyboarding teacher while in Vermillion, SD and was really shocked that kindergarteners and first graders were being pushed to learn speed and accuracy on computers. However, I realize now that this is what it is going to take for most of today's students to succeed as writers.
