Typing.com

 

www.typing.com is the typing program that I use throughout the year.  The thing I love about this site, is that it is online based.  So that means your students can login at home to practice typing.  I really encourage students to login at home to keep up with their typing practice.  Since I only see each class once a week, students will only practice typing once a week, which is not a enough to improve their typing skills.  I will be assigning typing as homework twice a week.  Students are encouraged to type more often, but required to practice at least two times a week. I do NOT reccomment spending more than 15 minutes at a time to practice typing without a long break in between.  For example, practicing typing for 45 minutes at one time is not reccommended and is unhealthy in my opinion.  If you have any questions about typing or other resources, please do not hesitate to contact me.
