Keyboarding Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears and Keyboarding Without Tears are two tools in use in LPS from the Learning Without Tears group. Keyboarding Without Tears is a web-based curriculum for grades K–5 that teaches typing, general computer readiness and online test prep for Students who struggle with the other tools used in LPS keyboarding lessons. Teachers must create accounts once licensed, and those Teachers create accounts for Students in some cases. The Teachers are responsible for securing the identity of the Students that they manage within the platform. Students should not be directed to create accounts on their own.
