[ISLMA-Share] Typing program implementation

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We're going to be starting Keyboarding Without Tears (yes, same company as
Handwriting Without Tears). I'll be taking care of the digital
citizenship/internet safety component, but the classroom teachers are
responsible for the actual keyboarding instruction. The principal and I
spoke about this and initially, he wanted me to teach keyboarding, but I
told him that this would only be meaningful if students practiced daily,
not just once a week with me.
