Subject: A proposal to purchase new keyboarding books for the computer lab.


 * __ Purpose: __** I am writing to propose a solution to a problem in the computer lab. The problem is that the books are outdated. I recommend that the school order new textbooks to be used for my keyboarding class. Ordering new books will improve typing skills and improve student grades.**__The Problem with Current Books and Software__**:Currently, I am in a class with 30 students. We do not have an updated textbook to use for typing. The textbooks we have are the same ones that have been used for many years. The information in the textbooks is outdated. In fact, these are the same typing books that were used when the school had typewriters to teach keyboarding.Another problem with these textbooks is that the information is very basic. The books do not include information about word processing or computer applications. The only thing in the books is simple keyboarding for typewriters. We use computers and need books that teach computer keyboarding, not typewriter keyboarding.**__A Solution to the Problem:__**The purchase of new textbooks will benefit all students. I propose that we order Glencoe Keyboarding with Computer Applications from Glencoe Publishing. I have talked to students at two other schools that use this book in their classrooms. These schools were Southeast Bulloch High School and Portal Middle School. The students at both of these schools agree that this book is a good choice. It is very up-to-date, challenging, and fun for the students.**__Costs__**:The costs of purchasing new textbooks are shown below.

30 Student Edition Textbooks: $1,589.40 1 Teacher’s Edition Textbook: $86.49 1 Teacher’s Classroom Resources Kit: $230.49
 * Total Cost: $1,906.38 **

As you can see, the textbooks are not very expensive. There are thirty computers in my lab. Students will not be allowed to take the textbooks home since this will be a shared set of textbooks.**__Conclusion__**:I think it would be a great benefit to our school for you to approve this proposal and order new textbooks for the lab. The students at the middle level really need an updated book to use so they can learn how to type. Typing is an essential part of our lives because of all the technology around us. Purchasing this book will ensure that students are able to type when they reach high school computer applications.I really hope that you will think about approving this proposal for the lab. The students would love to start the year off next year with a new outlook on keyboarding.
