Miss Ale,
The game was really fun! The first times I played it I couldnt do it because when I was in the middle of a word it scrolled down and I "lost". But when I raced (not practice), that didnt happen. I got stuck in a word becuase I didnt know how to put the apostrofe and that is why I got in the second place. But I am sure I would have gotten first if I wouldnt got stuck in that word.. This game really helps you to practice your Touch Typing and also it is very fun! I am going to keep on playing to practice for next weeks Touch Typing competition. I wish that word or a similar one doesnt apprear again because if it does, I will get stuck and loose a lot time... My score was 27 wpm and 94.1%. I really like Touch Typing. Whenever I can I practice... Once again great game and it would be great if you posted more games like this one!!!
See you,

WOW! both games were amazing. I like touch typing, and I use it all the time. I think it is easy, but when there is a lot of pressure on me, like when I have to type against time, I start mixing all the letters, and I can't do it right. The second link you posted, said that I did 240 wpm, 31 words correct and 0 words wrong. The first link said that I did 41 wpm and 97% accuracy. I believed more the 1st link, because imagine, if I could do 240 wpm, I would write a whole story in one minute. That IS too much. How many wpm can you do? Well, you'll tell me tomorrow!

SEE YOU!!!!

I loved the game!!!!! The first time i played the one that says practice i really didn't understand but when i knew how to play i just couldn't stop playing. I said to myself stop playing but i just wanted to play more and more. Then i played the one that says Extra practice and i really really loved it. It is one of these other games apart from a lot of others that i play and play and play and play until my fingers kind of come of. In the second on i did 64 words per minute. It was quite easy because they were very short words and you could write them in very short time. I did four words in less than a second. I was really impressed and i am really proud of myself. I love touch typing and i think i type quite fast. I loved these two games because you really spend a good time and you can practice for the touch typing interhouse and you can also practice for anything else like to type a sotry or send emails. I think that these two games will help a lot of people that dont really like touch typing and that need to type faster. I think that almost everyone will play this game because it is really fun and we can practice a lot. What i also liked about the one that says practice is that it is a little car that is in a race. And what is also very creative is that the car goes changing colour and the participants go being more and more each time you do another level or play many times. Today i will keep playing so i practice more and i will share these two games with my dad that also loves typing and i think that i am already faster than him. I will always keep practicing until the touch typing interhouse comes so that i can win lots of points for Fleming!!! Thank you for posting these two interesting, entertaining and fun games. Also thank you to Marta that chose these games for us to practice. They are really fun!!!!
See you tomorrow!!!!

Miss Ale,
Thank you very much!! You are really helping us in all this of the touch tipping interhouse. I read the mail Mata send us, it is great to have soooo many really challenging and easy games to practise in the blog. So in this way we don´t have to spend time looking for them, just entering the blog. You are helping us sooo much thank you. I really liked the lot both links. In the first one it told me that i´ve done 45 wpm with 98 of accuracy and in the other one, it told me 265 wpm and then down 51 wpm. I am so anxious for the Interhouse to come. I would be very happy if Fleming wins jajaja. Altogh I am not so fast, because my best score is fifty something I hope I can win some housepoints for Fleming. I will ask you the same as Agus, how many wpm you can do?? I really like touch tiping it is really fun and for me it helps you a lot with comunnications because in this way you can write in messenger, hotmail, yahoo or skype more quickly. I hope you can put more games, although I think we already have enough. Thanks really much for the help, which house are you?
All the pages youy had put in the year will help us a lot. THE BLOG IS SUPER, IT HELP US IN SOOOO MANY WAYS!!! I can´t believe that also help us with touch tipping, I hope you use this in the next years, it will help all 6th graders a lot, like it helped all of us.

Thank you again, see you,

Miss Ale,
I spend had spend a lot of times playing this games! Wow my score rised up sooo much, I did like 65 in one. I am really proud, I haven´t realized how creative the first one is, but now that i´ve spend sooo much time I can realize. The race is very easy but when you get getting to the end I´ve got nervous so I get there second the first few times, but then I was always first. The second one, was also very easy way much more easier than the first one. Because in that one they were the words separated and in the first one it was like a frace, which for me it is more easy, but as the words were small it was easy. I could do a lot of words in a second. I really apreciate you add them. Now I also realize that this games are soo creative that will help the people that aren´t good at touch tipping, or taht don´t like it to do so because in this games you are having fun and you spot bothering if you are good or not, you just have fun and do the best that you can. Well actually thats the reason of games, and touch tipping is like a game, that you use every day and it is helpful. But the problem is that many children don´t look at it as a game but a thing that won´t help you in life. But I really think this would make that people realize how important touch tipping is. I spend a lot of time playing this games, not only this two, but all of the blog and let me tell you there are actually a lot. We had worked so much with touch tipping in the blog that you can´t imagen. I´m sorry I didn´t include this reflection on the other coment I did but it is like a book, you understand a lot of things when you read it several times. So I had to played it a lot of times to make all this reflections. Thank you Miss Marta and Miss Ale for making our touch tipping skill even better every day.

See you,

The second game was good but I prefered the first one because it was more colorful, and also you compited with other people online. One question: When is the interhouse of Touch Typing? When I find out when is the interhouse of Touch Typing I will play this games several times so I can get to be one of the 5 students that win the interhouse like last year. The people who see this post and practice for the interhouse they are going to have an advantage because they practiced (this is why the blog is a learning tool).
See you tomorrow,

Miss ale,
These games are realy very good for practicing for the touch typing competition. I hope the people of Dodds can play it and practice for the interhouse. I think the second one was easier to understand and it wass better.

The game was fantastic!!! Loved it!! In the first excercise it said I did 35 words per minute and in the second one it said 41 words per minute. I think I am better writting only words, not paragraphs!! In the first excercise I got really nervous becuase if I wrote something wrong everything was red and I got really nervous!! I liked a lot the second excercise! Thank you for posting them because now we can practice for the Interhouse next week!! I am really nervous. I a not so good at touch typing, I think I preffer using Gimp and Word with tideness and like in slow motion. We we are making the touch typing test the voice that speeks gets me mad!!! While I am writting he is saying another thing and then I don't realize but I start writting what he says and so I have everything wrong!! It really gets on my nerves!!But anyway, I also like touch typing but in a cooler way, not like a competition, like now I am making touch typing but I am doing it with time, not so fast and quickly!
Thank you for posting this so now I can practice from here at home!!! And I don't have a voice speeking to me about anotehr thing!!
WELL, MISS ALE THANK AGAIN VERY MUCH
I HOPE YOU THINK 6A IS BACK!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMANS... 6A IS BACK!!!

Dear Miss Ale: I REALLY LIKED THE GAME!!!!!!!!
I think that this game helped us all very much in this time of the year and in the situation we are in. I think that it helps in the situation we are because you can get to practice for the test on touch typing we are having next week wich by the way, there isn´t much time to practice, so this games are a good way of practicing and enjoying yourself through technology wich we all kids love and at the same time we are doing something that contributes to us in a positive way. I have played the two of them, and I really liked them, but still this games in particulary, have their conts, wich weren´t the best conts I found in a game. In the first game, I got really nervouse because the box were we have to write turns on to purple if you wrote worng someting, and if you don´t modify it quikly if will appeare a box wich will cover all what you have to write and the box were you had to write. So I played the next game, I first did 26 words per minute because I got stuck but then I did 30 words per minute, but then I was trying to play it again and the clock iwll start but the game won´t and when the sentence appeared I will have most of it wrong and 9 second left so I got really nervouse and lef it behind because I also wanted to refresh the page and it went to the blog, I REALLY DON´T WANTED TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS, it´s the way my fingers and my mind work, I just have to use the same program(if I am doing a race) for me to succes and to have a good time because I alrady know the proceduer for it to write and work at the same time, and I know how to use it and the way it is used, liek uyltra key or tiper shark wich are games that I have already played and enjoyed... I AM REALLY SORRY IF I HEART YOUR FEELINGS, IF I DID SO, PLEASE, TELL ME!!!!!!!
On the other hand, the game was kind of good for us because it is a way to use different pages for us to practice and ot have fun and that is why we all do this, but It had movements and cars and things taht made it colorful so it was kind of good to see those cards moveing in a race depending on the words per minute you wrote, I THINK THAT THAT WAS VERY VERY ORINGINAL!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL MISS ALE... PROMISE THAT IF I HAVE HURT YOUR FEELINGS I WILL NOT DO SO NEXT TIME!!!!!!!
SORY ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
PLESE INCLUDE MORE OF THIS GAMES SO THAT I GET USED TO THEM!!!!!!!!!
BEY BYE...
SEE YOU SOON...

Hi again miss ale!!
now I do think I am ready for the interhouse, and I am not nervous any more! Thank you for including this extra practice for next week, it did help me a lot! As I said before, when I am under a lot of pressure, I can't type properly, but when I am at home, typing a comment, or chatting in messenger, I can type really quickly. I liked the 1st link much better, and i think it is so much fun!!
From the 3 "tips" you gave us today in the maths lab, I prefer the one of MONEY (material things) because I think it is the one that has more things to say.
see you on monday!!!

The game was very fun ! After trying several times I got tired, but it was lots of fun ! I really enjoy doing touch typing, so I love these games where you have to do lots of touch typing. Its also a good practice for the touch typing interhouse that we will be having soon. My highest score was 62 words per minute ! OMG ! ( oh my god ) I cant belive it ! Its just very impressive I passed fron 51 to 62. I got really impressed and surprised !
I try to use touch typing in every time I need to use it, I use it in the chat : MSN, in the mail ( school and private ) in this blog : whenever I post a comment. I mostly use it in everything when I use the computer keyboard !! Well, See you on monday !!
BYE BYE HAVE A NICE WEEKEND !
