Typing Agent Typing Streaks
Typing Agent looked at this concept and thought, why not implement this concept into our program for students. In order to be successful at keyboarding, students need to consistently be practicing their skills and so let’s gamify this in a similar way….introducing Typing Agent Typing Streaks!
Typing Streaks is a fun way for students to challenge themselves to keep practicing their typing skills regularly inside Typing Agent. Every time a student logs in and types a lesson or test Typing Streaks adds 1 point to their Typing Streak score and their number keeps building. Don’t let too much time pass without doing your lessons or your score will go back to 0. If a student goes 72 hours or more without typing a lesson or test, Typing Streaks will automatically reset the number back to 0. Oh no!
Students can find their Typing Streak score at the top of their student interface with a flame emoji and a number. Now, let’s hone those typing skills!
