Teaching the Foundations of Technology

As part of our focus on typing — an essential 21st century communication skill students need to succeed in school and beyond — we organized a district-wide keyboarding competition, with 6,200 student participants, using Typing.com.

Typing.com is a one-stop shop for students to learn to type! The fact that students can progress at their own pace, while tracking accuracy and speed, has been an important benefit.

The best part of Typing.com is the ability to track activity to monitor students’ progress over time. The data provided by the reporting features is key to my success, as well as advancing student progress.

My students cannot get enough of Typing.com! The themes and interactive lessons keep the students engaged all class. I love that it does absolutely everything for me and makes my life so much easier!

My students love the Typing.com certificates and are proud to display their growth on the walls of our classroom. Last year’s winner was a 5th grader who got up to 113 WPM using the program!
