Typing Club

     We have recently started typing practice through a program called Typing Club. This allows me, as the teacher, to assign various lessons for students to complete at a specifided rate and accuracy. Students can also go back and practice already completed lessons. From teacher view, I am able to see how much time each student has spent practicing-- daily, weekly and overall. I am also able to track their rate and level for each lesson.

     Typing will frequently be part of homework in the coming months. For now we'll be practicing in computer lab and students are welcome to practice on their own at home. We have practiced on this site in the computer lab, so they should all know their username and password. In case they don't it is their first name (lower case) followed by 144 (example: suzie144), password: ala144

Always make sure your fingers rest on home row. Do not use your pointer finger to type all the letters!
And remember: "You're not a bird, don't peck!" -Ms. Brown

**A great idea is to cover  your hands with a kitchen towel. That way your brian and fingers have to work together. You might start out not very good but you'll get really good at typing this way!
