Typing.com:

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically 30/118 in the hardware list. I picked the Typing.com tool as I have never heard of this website or tool in general. I wanted to get more educated on this tool as it may become useful to me in the future.

Likelihood of Using:

I can definitely see myself using this as it is very useful for younger students. I myself wish teachers would have taught us this a lot more than they did. I feel like I don't know how to properly type even today because it wasn't a consistent use in my elementary school. With that I have learned the importance of using this and would use this technology in my elementary classroom as it also seems like a fun and easy way to use. 

Course Connection:

This connected to our course as it shows how useful it can be in the future. As specified in the classroom when Zhaos talked about classroom management, technologies for different subject matters, and technologies for instruction.  This technology to me fell into what Zhaos explained therefore it is useful for teachers to utilize this.

    Hi Alondra!
    I have never heard of this program before. I think that this wuld be a very helpful tool to have as a future teacher. As you stated, this is a great program for students as they are able to practice their typing skills. This program lets students start from the begiining and slowly work their way up to advanced. I like how this program does this, also allowing teachers to monitor the students work. I think this is a tool I would use in my future classroom! Great post!
