Keyboarding
This year in computers, we will be keeping track of our speed and accuracy progress. At least once a month we will find our WPM and our accuracy scores in typing.com and insert them in our typing log in Google Classroom. Mrs. King is looking for a steady increase in both speed and accuracy, but she wants everybody to focus on their accuracy scores. Individual typing goals will be set throughout the year.
