  • Project  - Typing Speed - HS Students
    1. Students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 who have been practicing keyboarding for several years are at an advantage because keyboarding is a cumulative skill. Students at this level should be practicing a few times a week in a typing program such as Type to Learn or Typing Club.
    2. They should be using keyboarding skills for most of their assignments. Students should be able to type faster than they can write their assignment. A general goal of speed is 5 words per minute per grade level, or 35-45 words for grades 6-8.
    3. Students at this level should have the keyboard memorized.  Students will have several attempts to practice their typing skills by accessing the typing games below.  Students with a 45 pm will receive their certificate at the end of the quarter.
    4. Practice Typing Lesson link is below (unlimited - games).   Typing Certificates (GOAL: 5 min. - 45 wpm) will be presented at the end of the semester, as well as MOS Certificate for students that score 700+ on their Exam.  Typing Test - 3/23/2016 during Bell Ringer.
