8th Graders Learning Tech Skills

8th grade students will be spending the next 4 weeks or so participating in a trial of a typing program called TypingClub. They are doing this as part of a series of mini-workshops on tech skills with Kroese in the library. They'll be celebrating the best typers, but also the best at getting better at typing - students who show the most growth during the time period. These mini-workshops on computing skills - building vocabulary and skills like keyboarding - also included doing a Chromebook "teardown" - industry-speak for taking a Chromebook apart to learn how it works.
