Is it possible for teachers to maintain progress reports of their students keyboarding exercises and speed tests?
Please see the attached sample report. For both The Writer and Fusion keyboards, individual student progress reports are easily transferred from the pre-installed typing tutor software by pointing the keyboard toward the I/R receiver and pressing the Send button. From there, teachers are able to either print the reports on paper or store them in their student record database. When a student transmits his personal writing from the Fusion keyboard, it doesn’t automatically include the “Score” for that particular document. Why is that different from The Writer, which does send the document’s Score? The scoring program in both The Writer and Fusion is designed to help motivate students to write and is intended to be used as a formative assessment tool that students themselves can use for immediate feedback. Because most teachers prefer to do their own summative evaluations of student writing, the new Fusion keyboard does not include Scores in the sending routine.
