'''Typing practice in the classroom.''' You only have a limited number | |||
of computers. When you start typing practice, you can do this in | |||
pairs, so that both students understand how the typing tutor program | |||
works. However, once students get this, it makes sense to do it as an | |||
individual activity. However, students only needs to practice for 10 | |||
minutes. Say if you have 12 netbooks, then take a group of 12 students | |||
to do typing practice, while your remaining students (perhaps 20-30 or | |||
so) do other tasks (also in group work). After a while, you rotate: | |||
Some of the students who were doing other tasks now use the typing | |||
tutor, while the students previously doing the typing tutor now join | |||
in with other group tasks. We will introduce | |||
