W.6.6.- Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others: demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of three pages in a single sitting.
Typing continues to be a more and more important skill to have. With more and more testing moving online I would like you to spend your time thinking about answers and not thinking about where the keys on the keyboard are. I would like all Middle School Students to be at or above the 30 words per minute. I would like all 7th graders to be at or above the 35 words per minute. I would like all 8th graders to be at or above the 40 words per minute. To help with this we will spend the first 5 minutes of the Innovation and Design class and 10 minutes of the Success Skills with Technology class working on are typing skills. Every Friday we will take a 5 minute typing test.
