Skills For
the Future
You need Type to Learn™ 3 in your curriculum. Students using computers without
keyboarding instruction often develop their own "hunt and peck" methods to maneuver
around the keyboard. These methods are inefficient and may hamper learning by
forcing students to focus attention on finding keys rather than on their thoughts.
With the instruction provided by Type to Learn 3, using the keyboard will become as
natural to your students as using pencil and paper. The benefits do not stop there.
Research has shown that the development of typing skills in young children is linked
with improved language arts skills, including gains in spelling, vocabulary, and written
composition.
Type to Learn 3 encourages the development of language arts skills as it teaches the
essentials of keyboarding. The program combines lessons with entertaining activities to
reinforce each keyboarding skill. As students work through the lessons, they practice
phonetic spelling patterns, inflections of adjectives and verbs, appropriate use of
punctuation, words that are frequently misspelled, synonyms, antonyms, and other
elements of written language.
In addition to language arts skills, students learn about history, geography, and other
general knowledge topics as they hone their keyboarding techniques while traveling
through time. The method is that of incidental learning: learning which occurs while in
pursuit of another task. See page 74 for a breakdown of the incidental skills presented
in each keyboarding lesson.
We hope that you and your students enjoy using Type to Learn 3 and the rest of the
products in the Type to Learn™ family. We welcome your feedback on the program;
please be sure to let us know if we can publish your comments in our catalogs,
brochures, and newsletters.

Welcome to Type to Learn 3!
™
Father Time is your guide through this exciting revision of
Type to Learn. Based on a time travel theme, students using
Type to Learn 3 are taught keyboarding skills in a
challenging and exciting new interface, but the underlying
educational principles and keyboarding pedagogy of the
original Type to Learn is fully intact.
Type to Learn 3 teaches and then drills the keystrokes for the alphabet, numeral, and
punctuation keys in a sequential manner. Students are challenged with the concept of a
"Time Travel Mission" in which they must master the keystrokes and complete required
tasks to complete the Mission. From the Main Menu screen, students systematically
check off elements on the Mission To Do List; those elements include the keyboarding
lesson and up to six practice activities.
Every lesson demonstrates the reach for each new key. On-screen fingers demonstrate
the movement and the student imitates the movement. If the student makes an error,
the hands demonstrate the correct technique. The lessons move students through a
series of reviews, practices, and exercises, introducing an average of two keys per
lesson. Students also continue to practice keystrokes from prior lessons in each lesson
for better retention.
Since learning to use the keyboard requires a great deal of practice and drill, Type to
Learn 3 is designed to keep students motivated. Students can view charts and graphs
displaying their best speed and accuracy scores, and can print out reports for each
lesson.

There are six entertaining and educational activities available after each
lesson to reinforce newly acquired keyboarding skills and foster
knowledge in language arts, geography, American and world history, and
general knowledge. Each activity is relatively short; something new is
always coming.

what they see for 45 seconds to
reveal a famous historical figure

T y pe to Learn 3
Type to Learn 3 also keeps records for each of your students and allows
you to customize the program for individual students or classes. Among
the many options in the Teacher's Options, you can control:
✦ vocabulary level (primary, intermediate, or advanced)
✦ size of the text on the lesson screen
✦ speed goal in words per minute (wpm)
✦ accuracy goal percentage
✦ Mission To Do list components
✦ frequency of game breaks
✦ presence or absence of sound effects, music, or narration
✦ automatic goal adjustment
✦ automatic review of troublesome keystrokes
The many management features make it easy for you to monitor student
progress and adjust individual lesson plans accordingly.

The Lesson
Each of the 25 lessons (21 for the primary vocabulary group)
encourages students to review, learn, and practice. Each
lesson is made up of the following:
✦ Home Row Review – reminds typist of proper posture and hand position
✦ Home Row Warm Up – warms up fingers with a home row exercise
✦ Checkpoint – reviews keys from previous lessons
✦ Learn New Keys – demonstrates the key reaches using animated hands
✦ Exercises – practices new keys with lessening amounts of prompting over
the course of 2-3 exercises
✦ (optional) Final Challenge – assesses mastery with a short post test
✦ (optional) Game Break – rewards students by breaking up the lesson; drills
the keys from the lesson
✦ (optional) Power Booster – provides automatic review of problem keys
during lesson exercises
HOME POSITION REVIEW
Each lesson begins with a
reminder on proper posture and
hand position, with fingers on the
home position keys. Students
click the space bar to move past
this screen.
17
T ype to Learn 3
HOME POSITION WARM UP
After the review, students
complete a short warm up of
the home row keys. The
narrator and animated hands
prompt students to type the
correct key.
CHECKPOINT
Checkpoint ensures the user
has mastered the keys from
the previous lesson before
learning the new keys. In this
quick exercise, the Teacher
Options control whether or
not the student has to type all
of the keys correctly the first
time. If set, an error will automatically start the activity
over again.
To set the Checkpoint feature:
Access Teacher Options, click Class Options, select the classes
or students for the customization, click Advanced Options,
Lesson Options, then the Next button. Under Checkpoint,
select either Student must type correct key before
progressing (good for students with poor motor skills or those easily
frustrated) or Errors will return students to the beginning.
Click Save.

LEARN NEW KEYS
This screen demonstrates the
correct reach of the keys covered
in this lesson. The narrator,
animated hands, and text instructions prompt students to type the
correct key. A slow/fast button
determines the speed of the
animation. The key is highlighted
above the keyboard to prompt
users to type it.
EXERCISES
The lesson exercises practice the new keys in lines of typing sequences.
Speed and accuracy scores (speed starts to be recorded in Lesson #7) are
presented after each sequence of keys is typed. Users must retype keys until
their set accuracy/speed goals are met.
Over the course of 2 or 3
exercises, with lessening
amounts of prompting (the
locations of keys on the
keyboard are not shown on the
screen), students should be able
to type a series of keys without
looking at the keyboard or their
hands. A red progress bar
indicates how far the user has
progressed through the lesson.

they consistently perform below
or above their set goals. This
keeps advanced students
challenged and keeps struggling
students from getting frustrated.
Speed and/or accuracy goals
increase by 2 when students do
well, or decrease by 2 when
they have difficulty.

To set Automatic Goal Adjustment:
Access Teacher Options, click Class Options, select the classes
or students for the customization, click Advanced Options and
Lesson Options. Check Allow Automatic Goal Adjustment
and set the minimum goals. Click Save.

Activities
Students type the keys that appear on the screen
for 45 seconds. They receive a score based on
the number of keystrokes they type correctly.
The narrator will prompt the correct key when
the student makes an incorrect keystroke. At the end of the 45 seconds,
one of 50 famous people (with some short biographical information) is
their reward. The "key figure" and the biography is printable. This activity
is available in all lessons. It is also used as the Game Break.

When are we? Students practice left/right
hand coordination as they try to reveal a
hidden picture of a period in time. For each
sequence typed correctly, a picture is
revealed through the sandy dashboard of the time travel machine. An incorrect
keystroke will obscure the windshield again and students must start over
again (this is an option in Teacher Options). The picture as well as some short
historical information is printable. This activity is available in all lessons.
To set the Typers feature:
Access Teacher Options, click Class Options, select the classes or

To practice the SHIFT key and the number keys,
students are presented with events in a broken
timeline. The words in the events are missing
letters or numbers and students must fill in the blanks to "fix" the timeline.
The correct key appears in grey in the blank. (To make the activity more
difficult, the correct key prompt can be turned off in the Teacher
Options.) Once the student fills in the blanks correctly for the event and
presses the RETURN/ENTER key, another event on the timeline is flashed
onto the screen.
Scores are based on the percentage of events typed correctly. The
Typeline events are printable. This activity is available starting with
Mission #4.

Convert Type to Learn Data into Type to Learn 3 Data
Using an Import Utility program located on the CD-ROM, Type to Learn 3 will convert
your existing Type to Learn data into data useable by Type to Learn 3. The Import Utility
will look for previous versions of Type to Learn data or will ask you to locate your old
Type to Learn data on your hard drive or network. It will then copy the old Type to Learn
data from that directory, import it, and convert it for use in Type to Learn 3.
Please note: When existing Type to Learn data is converted into Type to
Learn 3 data, it is not overwritten or deleted. Your old Type to Learn files are
still intact.
On PCs: The Import Utility will ask you to locate the directory of your old version of
Type to Learn. Most likely, the directory will be entitled TTL. If not, use the Browse
button or type the correct path into the box. Then click the Import button.
On Macs: The Import Utility will automatically look for the old Type to Learn data.
Click the Import button.
Please note: Do not have Type to Learn 3 open while running this utility. Exit
Type to Learn 3 before converting the data.
There are 3 ways to launch the Import Utility:
1. During installation — You are asked during the installation process if you'd like to
convert your existing Type to Learn data files into Type to Learn 3 data files.
2. Run the Import Utility from your desktop — If you did a Full Install, the Import
Utility was installed with your other Type to Learn 3 files.
• On PCs, go to Start->Programs->Sunburst->TTL Import Utility.
• On Macs, go to the ImprtUtl folder which is located in the folder entitled Type to
Learn 3. Click on the Import Utility alias.

Coordinate Type to Learn Assessment
with Type to Learn 3
You can easily use Type to Learn Assessment in conjunction with Type to Learn 3 data
files. This allows Assessment to import the student and class names from Type to Learn
3 and set each student's testing level according to the lessons completed in Type to
Learn 3.
To coordinate this data, Assessment will ask you to locate the Type to Learn 3 directory
(classes.ttl) on your hard drive or network. It will then import the old Type to Learn
data from this directory and convert it for use in Assessment.
There are 2 ways you can coordinate Type to Learn 3 data files with Assessment:
1. From the Teacher Options of Assessment — Select Coordinate with Type to Learn
from the Teacher Options main screen of the program (stand-alone version) or click
on the Change Data Paths button on the main Teacher Options screen and then
select Coordinate with Type to Learn (client version).

Learn, not Type to Learn 3 files. Please use the Teacher Options
directions above to coordinate Type to Learn 3 files with
Assessment.
• For PCs and network Macs - Do a search for the directory classes.ttl
to locate your Type to Learn 3 data. On Windows, use the Browse

here is saved to comma-delimited files (.csv).
IMPORTING
The data file must be organized in a comma-delimited text file and there
should be no spaces between data points. If there is no data for the given
entry, leave the field blank. The data should be organized like this:

Type to Learn 3 motivates students, improves self-image, and can provide specialized
help. The range of customization options in the Teacher Options allows you to modify
the program to best meet the needs of a range of populations. If the Quick Setup
Options under Class Options do not meet all of your needs, here are some further
suggestions.
For gifted students in primary grades, choose the Intermediate or Advanced Vocabulary
level. If the students are reading books with small print, choose the small text size.
Encourage them to use Notebook to write stories and letters. Keep in mind, however,
that typing is a psychomotor skill, so gifted students will not necessarily learn the
keyboard faster than other students. Because gifted students are used to acquiring skills
with little effort, they may become frustrated with the repetitive practice of
keyboarding. Make adjustments as necessary.
For mentally challenged students, Type to Learn 3 helps build competence and
confidence, reinforces language arts skills, and provides a marketable talent. It can be a
valuable part of a vocational training program. Type to Learn 3 can be customized in
numerous ways to help special learners.
For students with reading difficulties, use Primary Vocabulary and large text size. Set
frequent game breaks for students who are easily frustrated. Set the Automatic Review
feature to provide frequent practice on keystrokes that the student is struggling with.
Learning disabled students are sometimes characterized as "inactive" learners, that is,
they follow instructions without involvement. The motivating interactive environment
of all the Type to Learn products encourages students to become involved. Because
they progress at their own pace, students develop a sense of personal control over their
learning. To prevent learning disabled students from becoming frustrated, set speed and
accuracy goals low enough to ensure early success. These goals can be changed as the
student becomes more confident. Let students play games and lesson breaks frequently
to keep them motivated; these will reinforce lesson skills and help students when they
return to the Lesson.
Learn 3
T ype to
65
Physically challenged students can also use Type to Learn 3. The large
text size option and sound options make the program more accessible to
visually impaired students. Setting lower speed and accuracy goals can
make the program accessible to students with motor difficulties. Turning
on the keyboard shortcuts and tabbing function can eliminate the need for
the mouse. And adjusting the activity options can keep students from
getting frustrated when they make errors.
For any student, do consider reviewing the Quick Setup options described
on page 42 of this guide. These options were designed to make the
program a useful learning tool for all age ranges and learning types.

A BIOGRAPHY
Who's an interesting person from history? Write what you know about a former
president, a musician, an artist, an inventor, an astronaut—anyone who you think has
led an interesting life. Read a little at the library to include facts like their birthday and
birthplace.
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
This is your chance to tell people all about yourself! Some things to include are:
✦ Where and when you were born
✦ A description of each person in your family
✦ Where you live
✦ Your favorite things (activities, food, places, etc.)
✦ Your least favorite things
THREE WISHES
If you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for and why? (Just as in fairy
tales, you get only three wishes, and you can’t wish for more wishes.)
ECOLOGY
Pick a topic (acid rain, recycling, destruction of the rainforests, etc.) and see what you
can find in your school library. Use Notebook to summarize what you have learned and
explain what you think we should do to help the planet and why.

other products that you'd like to see available.
RULES
TO YOUR
FAVORITE SPORT
List the most important rules to your favorite sport or game.

✦ Make sure you can reach the
keyboard comfortably.
✦ If possible, use a wrist support pad.
✦ Slowly increase your keyboarding time so that you can build
up strength in your hands and wrists.
✦ Just as the athlete warms up and stretches out before
exercising, anyone using a keyboard for long periods of
time should limber up the hands and wrists. Simple
exercises done before keyboarding and during breaks may
help to prevent repetitive motion hand-wrist injuries.
Here are four quick exercises
that are fun to learn:
✦ The Hand Massage: Use one hand to massage the other. Put
the thumb on the inside and the fingers on the outside and
move the thumb in a gentle circular motion to relax the
opposite hand.
✦ The Thumb Stretch: Gently use one hand to pull back the
thumb of the other until you feel the stretch. Hold for the
count of five seconds then repeat for the other thumb.
✦ The Finger Arch: Grasp the fingers of one hand with the
other hand and gently bend them back toward the wrist.
Hold for the count of five seconds and then repeat for the
other hand.
✦ The Fist Relaxer: Clench your fists tightly and then release,
fanning out your fingers. Repeat five times.
