Beginner Level
In Typing 101, students will focus on the home row only. We will talk about finger placement, posture, and how to memorize the row of keys on the keyboard. Requirements: Students need to know the letters of the alphabet and how to type in a chat on Zoom. Students should know "left" and "right." Preference: -Working microphones - although we mostly run on mute with multiple learners -Working cameras - I love having cameras on (when possible) to see the kids' facial expressions to check their understanding and to interact during our class by holding up items to the camera. -Working computer keyboard to type in chat. -Knowledge of Zoom chat - Most of our interaction is completed through private chat, so kids feel comfortable to practice without the worry of other students seeing their practice. Class layout: *Intro/Expectations/Mini lesson/Use Google Slides as a visual *Asking questions for kids to answer out loud or in a Zoom chat. *Mini check to see if they are understanding the information *Have them practice using the correct finger for a letter by finding and typing into the Zoom chat which is set to private. *Brainstorming a mnemonic device to help learn the order of the keys *Note that missed classes are not within the parameters of Outschool's refund policy. Thank you in advance for understanding.
Learning Goals
Students will learn which fingers are used for which keys in the home row.
Students will learn the reason for resting hands on the home row.
Students will learn how to create a mnemonic device to help them remember the order of the letters.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Keyboard Ninja, on Typing.com, is a game students can use to specifically practice typing the home row keys after this course is completed.
Disclaimer - There is a slicing/sword sound when the fruit pieces are eliminated but no visible object eliminating the fruit when the correct letter is typed. If they type the letter attached to the bomb, the game ends. The ice cube slows the game, and the cherry wins points for all items on the screen.
This game can be played as a guest.
Supply List
Suggestions to have nearby during class for interaction: 3-5 pieces of paper with marker(s) (to write large letters) and/or a personal whiteboard and dry erase marker if the Zoom chat isn't working.
