Today the third graders will be starting keyboarding. They are using a program called Typing Club from Google. It has been tailored by Ms. Zurawski to fit our third graders.
Students are working on 3 things - accuracy, speed, and ergonomics. They know that ergonomics means their posture and how they are working at the computer. In 3rd grade to attain "secure" students must be at 75% accuracy and 15 wpm (words per minute) after learning all the keys on the keyboard.
Student may practice at home. They can only practice levels they have already passed. They may not move on to new levels at home unless I have specifically asked them to (usually only for a vacation or such).
