Typesy EDU: Lesson Plans for Interactive Curriculum


September 21, 2020

Having an interactive curriculum helps many students learn better and faster. When students have interactive curriculums they will listen better and be happier to learn compared to traditional learning. As an admin, you will have access to creating an interactive curriculum for your students. This may not be the right step for all students, however, it is another method that will make it much easier for some to learn. Other students may prefer traditional methods. With that being said, let’s take a look at how you find your lesson plans. 

How to Find Your Lesson Plan 

The first thing you need to do is go to your course information screen. You can get to this by clicking Admin and then go under the classes tab. Under the classes tab, you will click clas sand then curriculum. You will now go under the interactive tab. 

There is now a new section for your lesson plans that include interactive curriculums. This will only have interactive curriculums for now. There will be another addition soon that will add lesson plans for each curriculum that is available. This will make it much easier to navigate and use the program as an admin. 

What is an Interactive Curriculum? 

Interactive curriculums are provided so that you can get an interactive learning experience. This makes learning more enjoyable and much easier for students. It will also allow students to be more engaged in the activity. When you use interactive curriculums you are going to allow students to learn faster and better understand the material. It is a non-traditional way of teaching that helps all students learn. By utilizing traditional and non-traditional methods, you will allow everyone to learn how they like. 

Why Typesy?

Typesy is a great way for students to learn how to properly type. This will prepare them for the future when they enter the work environment. Most employers now require the ability to type efficiently so that they can work on a computer. Most employers will not accept those who cannot type. 

Typesy allows people to learn to type in a fun and interactive manner. As an admin, you can control what lessons your students are doing. When you are making the lesson plans, you are helping prepare your students for the future and Typesy allows you to do just that with ease. Typesy makes learning fun again and interactive. Students learn to type through video games and other means.

A Message From Our CEO


September 16, 2020

Dear Typesy Users,

This message pertains to the recent changes to the “Word Work” section of Typesy.

Word Work is a recent addition to Typesy. The feature focuses on building the vocabulary of Typesy users and offers the great benefit of improved language learning, all while learning to type faster.

However, due to a series of oversights, some inappropriate language recently surfaced in the live version of the Word Work usage examples. Due to the young age of many Typesy users, inappropriate language is not acceptable. We take our responsibility to young Typesy users very seriously. For this reason, we have decided to temporarily disable the additional word usage examples in Typesy.

For the time being, word information will be limited to Typesy’s internal dictionary.

We are currently working hard to create a new version that will add a large amount of rich user-edited content to supplement word learning. We expect this to be ready within 1-2 months.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Sincerely,
Marc Slater – CEO

What is Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)?


September 14, 2020

If you work with your hands, you’ve likely heard about the specter of Repetitive Strain Injury. Common especially among typists and other people who work primarily in front of a computer, RSI can be at the very least uncomfortable and distracting, and at the very most a debilitating condition that can take away from your productivity.

Let’s talk about what RSI is, how you can heal it, and — importantly — how you can avoid making it worse.

What Is RSI? 

RSI is an umbrella term that very generally refers to pain coming from strain in the hand muscles or tendons that stems from overuse (or inappropriate use). Any kind of routine hand motion that happens in a repetitive fashion (such as typing) can trigger RSI if the appropriate steps are not taken. 

What Are Some Symptoms of RSI? 

There’s a difference between being tired of typing at the end of a long workday and actually contracting RSI, but it’s a nuanced line. Some of the common symptoms felt by people in the early and continuing stages of RSI are: 

Pain in the fingers

Stiff joints and knuckles

A throbbing sensation

Numbness (particularly in the evening)

A weakness in your hands

A hand muscle cramp that doesn’t seem to go away.

If you’re experiencing any of the above conditions, take a moment to examine your typing routine. You may need to switch a few things up to avoid further injury. 

How to Treat RSI

If you have already contracted some form of RSI, the first step is to look at your typing routine to see if there are any actionable steps you can take to make sure you can keep doing what you’re doing in a less harmful way. Incorporating frequent rests into your work routine is one such step.

Others include modifying your typing stance, prioritizing good posture while you work, and considering other ways to get your work done (for example, using a voice-to-text converter for long stretches of work). 

Preventing RSI

It’s probably best to make sure that you’re not able to get RSI in the first place, as it’s painful and frustrating and definitely easier to heal if it doesn’t get bad in the first place! Experts recommend a general reduction in overall stress to reduce your risk of contracting the disease, so try some breathing exercises or delegating tasks when you can. 

Other than that, prioritize resting your hands, and perhaps try some massage therapy to make sure your muscles have time to bounce back between periods of working them. Make sure that your posture while you type is impeccable as well — good form goes a long way towards making sure that your movements are healthy! 

Repetitive strain injury is an inconvenience that no one needs to endure. Make sure that you won’t have to by taking the time to optimize your work stance, and take rests whenever you need them! Your hands are important tools. Take care of them.

Typesy Feature: Word Work—Uses and Info


September 12, 2020

What is Word Work?

This is a feature on Typesy that builds vocabulary. Either using the given word list they provide or creating your own, your child is given a list of words and definitions. They provide examples of the word being used in sentences so the definition becomes clear. After a word is mastered, it can be checked off the list.

Benefits of Word Work?

1. Typing skills and vocabulary-building skills are complementary. Children pick up on information very quickly when it is presented in a way that is direct and easy to understand. Word Work uses a simple interface with minimal features to track how well your child perceives the information. Being able to learn new words should come naturally, and it is a great skill that offers many benefits as the child grows up. An extensive vocabulary is a definite sign of intelligence that both colleges and employers look for.

2. When a child learns new words, one of the best ways to practice using them is in class. Whether they are writing papers or conversing with classmates, the new vocabulary is going to make its appearance. Best used in an educational setting, the Word Work feature can be used as a form of studying.

3. Spelling and vocabulary can be challenging for most children. Typesy helps with this by teaching vocabulary lessons that are to the point. Appearing as a simple list, the task does not appear daunting as your child works through it. A  bonus feature that can be added to the lesson plan that is independent of the typing lessons, this further proves how much Typesy cares about your child’s success and understanding.

How to Use Word Work

As mentioned, there are either pre-made lists that you can assign, or you can create your own. From the administrator perspective, lists can be created that follow themes of current lesson plans, which is a nice integration of skills that need to be learned. As the student, this information is given and the admin can create a test/assignment under the class setting. This ensures that they are not merely memorizing definitions but understanding them fully.

What’s Inside a Company’s Online Community Platform?


September 3, 2020

Okay, we see you, you want to expand your business. You’re thinking of different ways to do that. From within, you need to know why people continue to be interested in your company and what parts of your company can be improved. On their part, you need to know how they can better relate with the company and with each other.

So, why not build an online community forum?

What’s a forum, you ask? Well, a forum is basically an area where your visitors can leave messages for your business or for each other.

On the user side, they will be able to have a more personal relationship with the people in the company and actually build a community with people who are equally interested in your company. Moreover, they can clarify concepts and ideas in the company that need clarification as well as post appreciatively about the company.

On the business side of things, your company will be able to acquire information about their users like the vocabulary they use or the content they prefer so your company will be able to customize your content to fit the mold of your users. Furthermore, your company can also see what products they like and what they do not so you can make new changes with what you have to offer or promote them. Also, the amount of content that will be posted in the forum can actually increase your relevancy among search engines and your reliability with users who wish to avail of your company’s services in the future.

The best part of it, however, is the community that it builds. Your users will not just see your company as a business venture but also as a interactive one. They will be able to talk with each other about your product, ask questions about your services, and even give helpful advice. The purpose of building an online community is the longevity of it. It will ensure that your company takes its users words to heart and uses it to build a platform suited for them to guarantee long-term success.

To check out a sturdy online community for platform, you can visit the one built by the company Typesy. Going through their relatively new Typesy Community feature, it is evident that the makers thought extensively about the benefits of an online community for their company. Typesy Community creates for a solid group of people that you can be apart of if you visit http://community.typesy.com/.

So, what are you waiting for? Build a home for your users, a home in your company.

Typesy Added Feature: Wordlists


August 25, 2020

Typesy team members have always put education first. In fact, they value education so much that they have incorporated different lists of words to type. This allows the education development unit users or admins to choose different texts. This will not only teach how to type but teach how to spell as well. This is a two-in-one deal.

This option also features the ability to show the spelling and the definition of the word. In this wordlist tab, you will find a button that will show the options for spelling and definition. 

Typing and New Words 

When you are learning how to spell certain words, typing them over and over can help the brain process how to spell the word. This is because your fingers are striking the keys to type it properly. When you do this, your brain is remembering how to spell the word as well. This means when you add new words from the wordlist, you are going to allow students to learn how to type and spell at the same time. Not only are you training the fingers, but the brain as well. 

Why Typing is Important 

Most people can type, that is not a problem. However, not all people can touch-type. Most people will peck slowly at the keys. This is not okay because it will not allow them to get the job done as quickly as it should be done.

Touch-typing is important because it is a skill that people need to have in the workplace. It helps boost productivity. Plus, when someone touch-types, they will type faster and be more accurate. Not to mention you can get more done in less time when you are not looking at the keys and pecking. Most employers will not accept pecking as a reliable form of typing. If you are required to type, pecking will not be acceptable. They may deny someone the job if they peck at the keys. 

Typing with Typesy 

When you are using Typesy, you are going to learn how to properly use a keyboard. You will type properly so that you can keep up-to-date with what employers are looking for. This is something that you should take into consideration as an admin. You need to know that your students will need to know how to type when they enter the work field. As an admin, you can incorporate spelling with their typing lessons. This will help prepare your students for the world ahead of them.
