In this eight-lesson introduction to keyboarding, students will explore the computer keyboard and learn touch typing—typing without looking at the keys. This course will build a solid foundation of correct typing techniques, covering all letter keys and punctuation, and utilizing all ten fingers. Our goal is to introduce proper techniques and guide learners through practice sessions to build muscle memory for efficient typing. L E A R N T O T O U C H T Y P E W I T H P R O P E R T E C H N I Q U E S Students will start with the home row keys and progressively move to the middle and top row keys. Emphasis will be on proper finger placement, posture, and technique to develop efficient typing habits. Engaging in various practice exercises, students will reinforce their skills and improve speed and accuracy. By the end of this course, students will have a strong foundation in touch typing. C O U R S E O U T L I N E Laying the Foundation: Learn the correct finger positions and movements for each key. Correcting Mistakes: Understand the importance of accuracy and learn to recognize and correct typing errors. Strengthening Muscle Memory: Through repetition, consolidate correct typing techniques into muscle memory for effortless typing. Our goal is for learners to progress through all the letters of the alphabet by the end of this course. Each student learns at their own pace, with accuracy being the primary focus. C O U R S E F E A T U R E S ◾ EduTyping.com Curriculum: We use the EduTyping website and follow their beginner typing curriculum and practice exercises. ◾ Interactive Learning: The course includes short lectures, demonstrations, and individual practice sessions. ◾ Brain Breaks: Students will have 1 to 2-minute breaks every 7-10 minutes to stretch, ask questions, and reinforce their skills. W H O S H O U L D T A K E T H I S C L A S S? ◾ Students with little to no keyboard experience who want to learn the basics. ◾ Students with some keyboard experience looking to improve their skills. ◾ Students interested in learning to code but lacking keyboarding skills. T E C H N O L O G Y R E Q U I R E M E N T S A laptop or desktop computer is required (no tablets without external keyboard). R E Q U I R E D R E A D I N G, W R I T I N G A N D C O M P U T E R S K I L L S: ◾ Recognize all 26 letters of the English alphabet (both lowercase and uppercase). ◾ Understand basic sentence structure (uppercase letter start, spaces between words, punctuation at the end). ◾ Note: Fluency in reading is not required. Students will copy letters and words from provided exercises. N O T E T O P A R E N T S: The teacher will create an EduTyping account for each student. Username and passwords will be sent to parents the day before class begins. Students may need assistance logging into their EduTyping account. Instructions for setting up learner devices will be available upon enrollment. The teacher will wait in the classroom for 10 minutes for students to arrive.

🍎Mrs. Lisa T. - Hello, my name is Mrs. Lisa and I'm an experienced educator with a diverse background. My areas of expertise and certification include Kindergarten through 6th grade teacher, 7th and 8th grade all four core areas, Gifted and Talented Teacher and Director of Education, Special Education Grades 4 through 12 specialist as well as building principal for PreK through 8th grade. During Covid shutdowns and quarantines I discovered that my students and I loved the online platform. I taught in a one to one school. Every student had a laptop as well as a school hotspot if their family asked for one. I chose not to do the minimum "office hours" as my school required. I felt this did not meet my students' needs. I ran an online classroom during regular school hours as well as recorded the class for those students who were unable to connect with us or needed to hear the lesson more than once. My experience as a principal resulted in greatly improved learning for all students. The gifted students improved as well as those with learning disabilities. I believe in high expectations for all. High expectations that are attainable
