MSBCS-BCSII-1: Students will reinforce keyboarding techniques. 

Essential Questions: Why is it important for you to learn how to type? How is this going to help you in the real world?

Agenda for Wednesday, March 26, 2014:
  • There are 6 people in 7A and 7 people in 7B who have not tested out in the typing program. Please continue with your lessons so you can improve your skills before taking the test again. Remember, you have to have a NET speed of 25 wpm in order to exit the typing program.
  • Those of you who have tested out will have one more day to race in Nitrotype. 
Agenda for Tuesday, March 25, 2014:
  • If you haven't tested out in the typing program yet, please continue working to improve your skills.
  • If you have tested out, you may race your peers in Nitrotype.

Agenda for Friday, March 21, 2014:
  • Today, you will continue with the beginner courses in the typing program.
  • IF you think you could get a 100 (25 NET wpm) without completing the remaining courses, you may TEST OUT TODAY! You must make a 100 in order to test out.
  • After testing out, you may compete against your peers by creating an account in NitroType. See Mrs. Jones to set up a race!
  • Those people who do not test out today will continue with the typing program on Tuesday of next week and the other students will not.
  • I will NOT be here on Monday because I have jury duty. Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Mattison will be in here working with the students who haven't had me for Careers in order for them to complete their assessments in GACollege411. The students who have had me already will go to Mrs. Dorsey's lab to participate in a leadership activity.
Agenda for Thursday, March 20, 2014:
  • Continue with the beginner courses in the typing program.
  • In order to test out, you must do the following:
  1. Complete ALL beginner courses
  2. Complete the first two intermediate courses (You may complete more if you want)
  3. Take another typing test - Here is how the test will be scored - 
    (Gross Speed - Errors = Net Speed):
  • 100 = 25 NET wpm
  • 95 = 23-24 NET wpm
  • 90 = 21-22 NET wpm
  • 85 = 18-20 NET wpm
  • 80 = 15-17 NET wpm
  • 75 = 14 NET wpm
  • 70 = 13 NET wpm
