Typing Keyboarding 101 Learn to Type or Improve Your Typing Skills 3X Wk / 2 Wks

In this six-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.

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.
