typing.com
Typing.com lessons and exercises develop the coordination necessary to build speed and accuracy. The typing program has excellent visual cues and is challenging, encouraging and informational. The program records student information and the data reveal how well my students are progressing and where they need additional practice. Typing.com is also filled with great games where students can learn while having fun. My students favorites games are Nitro Type and Zombie defender. I have integrated typing.com into my curriculum for many years and through out those years my students have improved their typing speed, accuracy and have stop looking at the keyboard. They understand the importance of typing in their academic, career and personal lives.

My students have participated with Code.org since it began in 2013. It is a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science in schools and increasing participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Their vision is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science, improve diversity, inspire students and create fantastic courses.
FUSE ignites and nurtures STEAM exploration through innovative challenges in a studio environment.Students in FUSE have access to a diverse suite of challenges and they will choose who they work with and whether they work alone or collaboratively. This choice and interest-centered environment helps all students find challenges which inspire learning and engagement. Challenges are designed around student interests in music, design, and pop culture and are embedded with STEAM practices. These interests serve as a hook, motivating students to progress through challenges and, in the process, discover new STEAM-related interests. 75% of students in FUSE report that they discovered a new interest that could be relevant to their future lives.
Because students work on challenges in a different order and at different paces, they develop unique expertise that they share with their peers. Students become leaders, peer mentors, and experts in a variety of STEAM-related tools and practices. FUSE creates a collaborative, student-driven learning community.
