Life Skills - Typing Practice - Forms - Job Paperwork - GOOGLE Technology Skills

This DIGITAL activity has students practice their typing skills with real world relevant scenarios. Four different levels of activities are provided, each focusing on a different skill set and typing theme. Since it is important for students to be able to fill out forms accurately as an adult, these activities simulate students practice filling out some basic parts of a form through a typing simulation.

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students are able to drag and drop a variety of objects into their correct locations. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

The four areas students will practice typing are names, birthdays, addresses, and passwords. In the birthday section, students will have to enter dates using the mm/dd/yy format. In the passwords section, students will practice using special characters that they might need to use when creating their own passwords in the future for websites. Each activity emphasizes accuracy and helps keep students engaged in an age-appropriate and meaningful fashion.
