I can Use The special key (Shift) to type my username and password.
I found that doing this was very challenging to my firsties. There were many tears when they were not able to get on to Teach Your Monster, so I created a worksheet that I filled out for each student. I wrote the usernames and passwords. Then I colored in the shift key below the letters that are to be capital. My hope is that they would recognize that there are TWO keys they must push to make the letters capital. Many students were not paying attention to the fact that they have to press the shift key AND the letter to make the capital letters. This worksheet expects them to look at their worksheets and type the keys that are necessary to log in.

Step 2- use your nametags to type your JCPS username and password (5 times) into the document
Kids were having a REALLY hard time typing these. I sat them down on the carpet- discussed CLEARLY that they HAVE to get it PERFECT or it wouldn't let them play Teach Your Monster. I told them that if they could prove to me that they could type it first on the paper, that then I would let them try it on the teach your monster site.
This takes A LOT OF WORK and A LOT OF PATIENCE!!!
