Time for Type to Learn 4!
This week the 2nd-5th graders signed on to their Type to Learn 4 accounts. Type to Learn 4 -- or TTL4 -- is a self-paced typing program which allows students to have accounts with content set to their age/grade level.
One of the great features of this program is that students can log in from home for free! All you need to do is download the TTL4 software onto your computer. The "home download" link is the first link under Typing Links on the sidebar to the right. (Our school Account Code is: 152721) Each student has a Username and Password.
I encourage all students to practice typing at home at least twice a week -- 15 minutes is all it takes. Once a week in the Technology Lab is really not often enough for typing to become fluid. We are trying to build "muscle memory" so that our fingers know where to go, without our eyes telling them.
Students do not need to use TTL4 to practice typing. There are several websites that allow students to practice typing for free. (Please see list under Typing Links to the right.)
Hey – great blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a really nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my blogs but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
