Yesterday in our Library and Technology time, students were given new usernames and passwords to access their typing.com profiles! These profiles track students' progress as they learn to type correctly. As students utilize technology more and more, typing quickly and efficiently becomes a necessity! Typing.com is a fun and interactive way for students to learn. If you would like your student's username and password so they can practice at home, please send me an email!
