Keyboarding Skills

All grades will be working on keyboarding skills at least one class period per month.  Grades Kindergarten - 2nd will be working on learning key locations since their fine motor skills are still developing.  The BBC has a great site called Dance Mat Typing that is geared toward this age group.  For Grades 3-8, we will be experimenting with different typing websites and programs to see which ones they enjoy using.  We have tried TypeRacer to determine individual typing speeds and to practice "real" text typing rather than drills.
