Typing Club

According to Common Sense Media, Typing Club is best suited for students who are 7 years old and older. At HPS we suggest that Typing Club be introduced in 2nd or 3rd grade. From Common Sense Media's review of Typing Club: "Quite simply, you can use TypingClub to help students of all ages learn to type more quickly and accurately. TypingClub's teacher dashboard allows for well-managed, whole-class typing instruction and practice. You can begin by creating classes and assigning lesson plans for each class. Alternatively, give placement tests to students and assign specific lessons accordingly. You can customize lessons to disable the Backspace key, the guiding hands, or instant feedback, and you can set the requirements for passing a level and allow or prevent students from jumping ahead to later lessons. It's easy to try out lessons right from the dashboard, and to create custom courses, lessons, and tests. Entire districts can also manage typing classes for students, and there are extensive tutorial webpages and videos to help you get started. There are detailed handbooks and resources for Jungle Junior, Typing Jungle, DC Typing, and Vocabulary & Spelling, along with tutorials and other help.
