  Case: Typing during Standardized Testing
What are you strategies for preparing students for typing constructed response questions on a standardized test? We don't have a computer class for these typing lessons and it is left up to the classroom teacher.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The best way I have found is to let them type! I am not sure what your situation is with computers in your building but if you have any computer lab time, I suggest you let them type something.
I used to let my students type their published writing pieces in a Microsoft word document. There are also several websites that let students practice their typing. Create a symbaloo account and look for TYPING GAMES. Also, the website www.kidblog.org is good to use. You can put writing prompts and assignments on there and have students respond to them. I also have students respond to a classmate's writing.
The only way I have found to improve this skill is for the students to practice it.

Comments: This would work in most cases. It seems as though it would be useful to into the curriculum with all the lessons the students are working on daily. Adding it into the lessons already being taught would be a great way to make sure students work on the skill daily or at lest a few times a week. Also having students respond to one another's writing will aid the student in more practice and improving upon their skills. It is a great way to practice what the students know about typing.
