Class experience
This class is an introduction to my 8-week typing course, but can be very useful as a stand-alone class to begin mastering the keyboard. This class uses interactive slides (through nearpod.com) to learn basic typing skills. We will start by learning which fingers type on which keys (see color-coded chart upon enrollment). We will then learn the function of the following keys: caps lock, shift, space, enter/return, and backspace. We will go over the importance of pacing (using a metronome...
Students will learn which fingers should strike which letter keys. Students will learn basic functions of non-letter keys on the keyboard. Students will learn and type the most commonly typed words, among other words. Students will practice typing letters and words to begin the memorization process of the location of the letter keys. Students will learn timing and good typing habits. Students will be told what they can do moving beyond the class to build speed and accuracy on their own.
My one-minute speed test result is 73 words per minute and I have had many jobs which require a lot of typing. I took a one-semester typing class in high school which I took very seriously (I learned on an old-school typewriter lol). My mom went to secretarial school in the 60's and she types 90 words per minute! After I developed my 8-week keyboarding course she went through it and gave me some great advice on changes I could make to really embed these skills into learners minds for life, and many of those strategies and skills have been applied to this intro course!
