Touch typing takes practice, and this virtual session is the perfect way to kick-start that journey! Over three consecutive days, learners will join peers who are also learning to touch type, making practice fun and motivating. Each session begins with a quick warm-up and check-in, followed by 15–20 minutes of focused typing practice designed to build speed and accuracy.
Learners in this program will have opportunities to:
- Practice touch typing for a dedicated amount of time over three consecutive days.
- Meet other learners who are learning how to touch type.
- Start building a routine for touch typing.
Audience: School-age learners who are developing touch typing skills.
Facilitators: Sarah Reed, Education Support Teacher – Access Technology (EST-Access Tech) and Kelly McKeage, Education Support Teacher – Access Technology (EST-Access Tech)
