Technology Tip Number 172
How Many Words Per Minute

 

 

In the old days students took a typing class in high school. It was either in preparation for college or an office career.  They sat in rows diligently tapping out "aa ss dd ff jj kk ll ;;" while trying not to look at their fingers. 

Today, there's a quandary in schools when it comes to computer technology.  With limited classroom time available a choice has to be made between teaching software skills and teaching typing skills.  Traditionalists would of course prefer that typing  was stressed while technologists would say that typing skill will follow if a kid learns the how to use the software.  In the end a mix is needed across the grade levels.
