Keyboarding Practice

Parents! Your child will been given an access to Clever Keybording Practice application. Kids need their student ID and their password is their digital birthdate MM/DD/YY. 10 minutes/day practice will get them proficiency on the keybaord. Longer, and their fingers get tired.   Some do practice more and that is fine.

It's Lousey!
