Typing like it's 1999



It’s time for a reunion tour, a 100% comeback! Pandemic learning and many students utilizing a one to one device has brought back the need for typing instruction. The greatest hit of typing instruction is here! 


Typing.com has you covered with 2022 teaching and beyond! The FREE version is 2 legit 2 quit! It is even recommended by ISTE and follows their suggested scope and sequence! Choose a grade level and lessons! Signing up is simple because it integrates with Google, Microsoft, Clever, and Classlink!! 


The dashboard has a real time activity feed and allows you to manage classes, see which students are working, how long they have worked, and much more!  Assign new lessons, create your own challenges, and keep students engaged while learning such a valuable skill. It is super easy to pull reports on progress, accuracy and speed! Educators can differentiate based on specific students and needs. Set individualized goals for each student!


Teachers can even choose their students' login information to keep it simple for easy access.


It is web based, so it works across devices.  There are ads, but they seemed to be kid friendly in the student account and more geared towards 13+  in the educator account.


Students are engaged with multiple views, videos, and challenges. They can constantly see their progress and get immediate feedback! The fun gamification model reinforces techniques with targeted instruction in short lessons.



Their blog is a great resource of information for ideas on how to engage students with typing.
