How May I Help You!
Remember when they used to teach typing in high school?
Well -- they don't anymore! In our district, we begin
teaching keyboarding no later than third grade. But think
for a minute. What if you only taught multiplication in
third grade. Yes, people can multiply with the aid of a
calculator, but how good would they be at multiplying in their
head if they only learned to multiply in third grade. At
many schools, keyboarding instruction begins as early as first
or second grade. By third grade they are hitting it
hard. Then they continue to review keyboarding in the
intermediate grades. This not only makes portfolio pieces go a
lot faster, but research shows they will earn better grades in
middle school, high school, and college where computers generated
work and projects are required. Need ideas for teaching or
reinforcing keyboarding skills? Let me help you!
