If you saw the earlier post about 4th Grade Technology Standards then you know that this is an important skill for my students to master. Currently we are in transition with regard to technology in our building. In the meantime I felt it was important for my students to begin their journey towards keyboard mastery.
In looking for avenues to provide my students with access to keyboarding I narrowed the choice down to TypingWeb and Typing Club because they both offered ad-free services and were comparable in features. I chose TypingWeb because at the time I thought it was the best offer, it turned out not to be so in actual practice. So, I have switched to Typing Club. I will be sending out the information to my students via Edmodo today if they would like to try it over the weekend. I will demonstrate the service to the class on Monday. There will be no expectation of any lesson completion by Wednesday as originally scheduled.
