Unit 2: Keyboarding

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:
  • Today, you will continue with the beginner courses in the typing program.
  • IF you think you could get a 100 (30 NET wpm) without completing the remaining courses, you may TEST OUT TODAY! You must make a 100 in order to test out. You may take the test as many times as you need in order to get the desired score.
  • 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 have to continue with the typing program and the other students will not.
