[CASL-L] Typing

[Lauren Yansick]

We have a subscription to typing.com which is linked in their Classlink.
Chromebooks are given to 2nd-8th graders, and K-1 uses iPads. All 2nd-8th
graders use typing.com, and most of the instruction is done during my
library media classes. Some of the classroom teachers will do typing.com
during choice times, but I don't think they are providing any direct
instruction for them.
