Today, your assignment will come from the website, www.typing.com.  I have already set up everyone’s account on this site.  Read the directions posted below that tell you how to log into your individual account.  After you successfully login to your account, you will start completing the five assignments labeled, “Beginner”.  There are 5 total lessons to complete in this section.  You will complete each section and advance your screen each time you finish a section.  You should have time to complete all 5 lessons.

Students,

We will be using Typing.com, an online typing tutor, to teach you about proper touch-typing techniques and improve your keyboarding skills. Learning to touch type helps students be more productive and better prepares them for success in school and beyond.

On Typing.com, you can practice and master the keyboard one lesson at a time. It allows you to pick up where you left off in the course and displays a keyboard and hand diagram as you type to reinforce proper finger placement.

I have set you up with your own individual account.  You can access Typing.com from any computer (with an internet connection and modern web browser). From the teacher account, I can monitor and review your progress and track important statistics like typing speed, accuracy, and time spent typing.
