Learning to Type

This year Mrs Flannery is going to be teaching ICT skills while we are released from the classroom. So that we can all get the most out of this it would be really great if we could all get a little faster on a keyboard.
A few years ago the Resource Teacher of Literacy showed me a typing site which is fantastic for all, as we can practise identifying letters and where we can find them on the computer, practise spelling words without looking at our fingers once we know where the 'home' keys are.  All this while learning to type.  I am envious of the typing skills of our staff who learned to type as part of their journey through high school - Latin hasn't been quite so helpful when writing reports!
I have not been able to find the exact site I was given which was part of the bbc education site, however try:  BBC Bitesize Dance Mat Typing when you search.
Good luck, it is made fun for kids so hopefully this may help some of us to get faster on the computers.
Our first sessions with Mrs Flannery will be on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning 23rd & 24th February.
