Introduction
Knowing how to type is SO important for your generation. You will need to be able to type fast, and in order to do this, you must be able to type correctly. In the future, in middle school, high school, and college, you will be typing papers and assignments. For any of these, the faster you type, the easier the assignment will be.
We will be having monthly contests and tracking students' typing speeds for prizes at the end of each month.
Prizes will be given for:
- Top 2 most improved in each class
- Top 2 typists (words per minute) in each class
