Keyboarding

Why should students learn keyboarding? Students need to know proper keyboarding technique so they can keyboard with proficient speed and accuracy and maximize their time on the computer.

Keyboarding practice begins at the Kindergarten level with identifying letters on the keyboard and in first grade we continue to work on letter recognition on the keyboard with some of the games listed below.

 

Remember: Always start by placing your fingers on HOME ROW (left hand = asdf, right hand = jkl;). Your objective is to have good speed with only a few errors. Try not to look at the keyboard as you type - allow your instincts to take over. Work to improve yourself instead of trying to do better than your neighbor. *Keyboarding finger position challenge! -> Click here Dance Matt Typing Arachnid Falls Bubble Typing Key Man Dieting Frogs Save the Sailboat Race Martin City Defender Trick or Type         Meteor Typing Blast Outer Space Fleet Commander  Spacebar Invaders Keyboard Revolution !CHALLENGE!
