Keyboarding/Typing

Keyboarding

Everywhere we go we see computers and technology.  Learning the proper "Home row" position is very important in utilizing a keyboard properly.  A student may be able to type in their own style; however they will plateau at a certain low speed and never be able to fully succeed to their full potential.  Please encourage your child to use the correct "home row" position and the links provided.
