Info for Parents

One of the goals for our technology program over the years is for students to be able to accurately type or keyboard without looking at the keys. Speed comes with accuracy. Many students believe they can type quickly with the hunt and peck method. However, most will never be as fast that way as they will if they learn to use the home row and use the correct hands and fingers.

Here are some sites you may want to visit to have your child practice their keyboarding skills:
Dance Mat Typing - a BBC Schools web site

TypingTest.com - a free site to check your speed and accuracy
