I’d love to see our Cougars improve their typing skills. As a digital anchor school, Kingston’s increased focus on technology has made keyboarding skills even more critical. I am trying out Typing.com, a free online typing tutor, to help your child learn about proper touch-typing techniques and improve their keyboarding skills. Learning to touch type helps students be more productive when using computers.
If you are interested in having your child join me in this OPTIONAL activity, please use this code to register your child: http://www.typing.com/student/join#563F7B659564E So that I can recognize each user, please consider using your child's first name, first letter or two of last name, and grade level. Example: ConnorJac4. Please read the Typing.com program privacy policy before deciding to register your child: https://www.typing.com/privacypolicy I would love to hear what you think about this program and recommendations you have for other educational programs our Cougars may enjoy.
On Typing.com, your child can practice and master the keyboard one lesson at a time. It allows them to pick up where they left off in the course and displays a keyboard and hand diagram as they type to reinforce proper finger placement.
From the teacher account, I can monitor and review your child's progress and track important statistics like typing speed, accuracy, and time spent typing.
I look forward to a great year as we incorporate the use of technology into our curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
