Keyboarding Skills

Research shows that proper keyboarding practice involves frequent, daily practice of 20-30 minutes over a period of several weeks or months to master these skills. We do not have this time available during our instructional day. Research also shows that formalized keyboarding does not ensure success. Full keyboarding skills may not be needed as tools are getting smaller. Below, is a short description of the following links:

Dance Mat -  An introduction to typing for ages 7-11. Each of the four levels is divided into three stages to gradually build skills.  Level 1 introduces the home row.  This site uses the Flash plug-in. Worksheets are available for each stage that can be printed and used offline with a typewriter or computer.
