KeyboardingAbraham Pierson School and Jared Eliot Middle School have purchased the web version of Type to Learn 4, software for keyboarding instruction. The licensing of the web version of this program allows the software to be downloaded in our students’ homes for no additional cost. The progress your child makes, whether at school or at home, is recorded on the publisher’s server. Parents may choose to download the software and have their children practice their keyboarding skills at home.
An introduction to Type to Learn 4 may be viewed at http://www.sunburst.com/ttl/f-intro.htm . If you would like to download Type to Learn 4 for your son or daughter to use at home, visit the website below. It has links for downloading both Mac and Windows versions of the software as well as user guides. Before downloading, be sure to have your child's Type to Learn 4 user name and password as well as the school's account code. 1. Click on the Windows or Mac version of “TTL4 Application -- Web Version.”
2. Click Run. (Download may take over an hour)
3. Enter your child’s user name, password, and the school’s pass code.

If your son or daughter does not have his/her user name, password, and/or passcode, have him/her stop by to see Mrs. Walden in the computer lab so she may provide this information. They will be sent home on a slip of paper.

During the 2009 -- 2010 school year, sixth grade students at Jared Eliot Middle School receive 30 class periods of keyboarding instruction and practice during one of the four quarters of the school year. Students in grades seven and eight do not receive keyboarding instruction unless they do not take a world language in eighth grade. Grade seven students, having received keyboard instruction last year, are expected to maintain their keyboarding skills through regular computer use at school and at home.
Mrs. Melissa Walden, Eliot's computer teacher, manages all the students' accounts. If you have any questions about your child's account, check the frequently asked questions section below. If your child's account still needs assistance, contact Melissa Walden at mwalden@clintonpublic.org .
