In this 6-week typing & computer literacy course, students will continue to grow their computer literacy skills by focusing on: typing with two hands, typing what they see, typing what they hear, typing from thought, and more common keyboard shortcuts. This class places a greater emphasis on typing speed and includes collaborative games. Each class is gamified. Using a combination of teacher directed activities and typing software, this class makes learning to type fun.
