Typing club - the road to becoming better typists.




                  Everybody wants to learn to type like a pro.
Part of learning to be more digitally competent involves becoming a better typist. So my class have been doing Typing Club, an online program for all students to practice typing and becoming more comfortable with typing with more than just 2 fingers. This will assist in their speed to log into Google before they do online work and using google docs and other google programs, which we use at JBS on a daily basis.

The typing program includes 650 typing games, typing tests and videos to keep the students engaged with their learning.
The old adage of "practice makes perfect" is definitely the case with each students' goal of learning to type like a pro.
Some of the students have improved really quickly, while others have been a bit slower and more cautious with learning to look at the screen and not at the keyboard all the time.
Listening, looking and hand-eye co-ordination are all part of becoming a better typist.
