Quickstart instructions to get started with TypeTastic
Step 1: Create classes
On your TypeTastic home page, click on +Add Class. Enter class name and grade, create class code and share your group with other teachers if necessary, by adding co-teachers to your class. You can modify these fields anytime by clicking on the class Edit icon or Edit Settings on the class page.
Step 2: Create student accounts
Click on +Add Student button on your home page or the class page. Enter the required information and click Save. The account is created and the student is enrolled in the selected class. The form stays open so that you can add the next student immediately. Students are automatically licensed when they are enrolled in a class and log in to TypeTastic the first time.
Step 3: Customize Curriculum
You can view and modify the settings for each course separately for each class. To do that, click on the class name and then on Customize Curriculum at the bottom of the class page. On the curriculum page, you can modify unit settings and add, remove or modify tests in the class curriculum.
Step 4: Pre-test
Custom typing tests are a good way to test your students’ progress. Before starting any exercises in ’Ready, Set, Type Jr’ or ’Ready, Set, Type’ units, it is a good idea to set up a pre-test to gauge your students’ starting level. You could then arrange a new test after the course to compare the results. You can choose test texts from TypeTastic selection or copy-paste your own text in Test Settings.
Step 5: Share your TypeTastic login link
Your school has a unique login link to access TypeTastic. The link is shown at the top of the page when you select a class from your home page. To make it easy for users to login, we recommend saving the link to browser favorites or as a link on a desktop or home screen, depending on the device.
