Can you type fast?

It doesn't take long to learn and it'll help so much

We're going to sign into TheTypingCat.com with your school Google account. We're doing this for two reasons:

  • When signing into a website for your classes, you need to remember to login with Google

  • We recommend students make sure they can type above 50 WPM. TheTypingCat.com is a great place to practice.

Chrome Extensions

These are recommended and not required. They're great though and make life easier.

Grammarly

You don't want to sound like a jabroni

Switch Tabs

This is a helpful add-on to Google Chrome that lets you flip back-and-forth between two tabs. Very helpful for students and teachers.
