Class Experience

This course is for the beginner typist. Students will first and foremost, learn the proper placement of their fingers on the keyboard and proper posture while typing. Throughout the course, students will be taught the proper striking of the alphabetical keys on the keyboard and begin the memorization process of key placement within the keyboard, as well as the proper finger striking of those keys. Students should progress with their typing efficiency and speed throughout the course. Students will be assessed throughout the course, in order to track their progress. I teach by demonstrating first and then the students will go ahead and apply what they just learned. There are games throughout the lessons and if time allows, additional games may be played, which will help with their memorization and learning of the keyboard. I am patient and encourage students to go at their own pace, as I truly believe that students learn best this way. I do encourage students to practice outside of class as well, because typing efficiency and speed will come with repetition.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the basics of typing. Upon completion of the course, students should have a better understanding of proper typing techniques and habits, in addition to becoming comfortable with the keyboard and improving their typing speed and accuracy.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Learners will need to set up an account on Typing.com, and those under the age of 13 will require parental consent.
Supply List
Students will need to be on a computer with internet during the lessons and have access to the computer with internet, outside of the lessons, in order to practice this skill. Students should also have a standard size keyboard, in order to gain the proper feel for a keyboard and be able to effectively learn hand placement and techniques on the keyboard. It is also ideal that the student be seated at a desk with a chair. I will also be sending a PDF prior to the start of class, which should be printed out.
