Advanced Level
If your learner enjoyed my Keyboarding for beginners class (or another class in which YOUR LEARNER HAS ALREADY LEARNED FINGER PLACEMENT and is beginning to memorize the keyboard), your learner will love this class! How do I know? Because I actually loved creating it! Learners will have MORE fun, enjoy more ENJOYABLE Nearpod activity slides, and explore new THEMES each week! This 8-day course will enforce advanced keyboarding speed and skills. I also have this class available as a "self-paced/pre-recorded" option. This is a brand new level-2 course but you can see the 5-STAR REVIEWS on my level-1 keyboarding classes! Each class, learners will receive a Nearpod link in which the drills will be broken up with various activities such as memory games, virtual field trips, Time to Climb (a fun timed quiz), drag-and-drop activities, and drawing slides within Nearpod. We will also play more advanced games! See "syllabus" tab for lesson plans for each day.
Learning Goals
Students will practice important skills such as using capitalization, using the opposite shift key, using the caps lock key, re-enforce the memorization of fingers to keys (alphabet, numbers, and special characters), and increase speed.Learners will also learn some keyboard shortcuts for easy functionality when composing documents.Syllabus

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from The Florida State University
My one-minute speed test result is 72 words per minute and I have had many jobs/businesses which require a lot of typing. I took a one-semester typing class in high school (I learned on a typewriter!), and avidly used a word processor in college (my friends would often ask me to type their term papers). My mom went to secretarial school in the 60's and she types 90 words per minute! After I developed this 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! So this course is "expert-approved" and very thorough! Reviews
