In Typing 102, students will focus on the top row and review the home row. We will talk about finger placement, posture, and how to memorize the row of keys on the keyboard. *The teacher reserves the right to withdraw students who have not completed Typing101 Requirements: - Previously completed my Typing 101 - Home Row course - 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 and 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. Class layout: *Intro/Expectations/Mini lesson/Use Google Slides as a visual *Asking questions for kids to answer out loud, in a Zoom chat, or on a whiteboard *Mini check to see if they are understanding the information *Have them choose a method to practice using the correct finger for a letter by: finding an item that starts with the letter, writing it on a sheet of paper and holding it up to trace with their finger, or writing it on a personal white board and holding it up while erasing the letter with the correct finger. *Learning about the name of the keyboard *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.
Students will learn which fingers are used for which keys in the top row.
Students will learn the reason for resting hands on the home row while reaching for the top row.
Students will learn how to create a mnemonic device to help them remember the order of the letters.
Students will learn about the name of the keyboard.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.
I have enjoyed teaching a summer typing camp to kids and teaching typing/technology classes to students for roughly 11 years.
