Keyboarding - why it matters
As students do more online writing, they need to become more efficient at keyboarding. We have no "computer lab" teacher and not much time in the day for typing practice, so keyboarding is something to support at home. Even 10 minutes a day can make a big difference!
Sites that teach proper form:
Typing Club http://www.typingclub.com/
Big Brown Bear http://bigbrownbear.co.uk/learntotype/
Typing with Burton http://www.growing.course.com/level_1/keyboard/index.html
