I have Grammarly Premium to help with editing and refining your typing work when done. There are many learners enrolled in this class.
There will be an opportunity to work on your typing skills with a video that you will produce for the class using your parents/guardians' smartphone, or another device. With the guidance of your parents/guardians, we will also use RPG Maker Visual Novel Maker so that you can create a video game in the class or start one. We will use emoji scavenger hunts in Zoom that will help to strengthen your typing skills. Plus, we can create apps with Bubble.io and chatbots with Landbot.io with the assistance of your parents/guardians. 
This class will help with your typing speed and proper formation of how to put your hands on a keyboard to either work at a desktop or laptop computer for work purposes later on in life. There will be many opportunities to practice the typing skills with the teacher's guidance and many assignments included that will help to improve your proper typing skills, plus your accuracy in typing, and increase your typing speed. There will also be some fun introductions with typing by creating a chatbot and a mobile digital application (app).
