With good typing skills, students will do all their writing for school—from notes and papers to journals and online collaboration—faster, easier, and better. Best Regards, Aidan Bernales Community Moderator at Typesy ---

As presented in key national standards, keyboarding is deemed an essential skill. Many states have converted from paper- to computer-based tests, meaning students must have a solid foundation of keyboard learning in order for test scores not to skew. As the world continues to rely more heavily on technology, the ability to type has become a necessary skill for any and all entering the 21st-century workforce! Regards, Typesy Team
