현대 타이핑을 위한 키보드(초급, 중급, 고급) 11세 이상

**This is a relatively new class but you can see more 5 STAR REVIEWS on my flex keyboarding class, which is the same material as this live class**

Give your learner the gift of typing-efficiency for the rest of their lives! This 8-week course will bring learners from beginner thru intermediate typing skills. The first few weeks will be devoted to learning the keyboard (the various function of the keys as well as letter and word drills), then we will transition into sentence and paragraph drills as they begin to memorize where the keys are located and which finger should strike each key/letter. I will assign practice games between classes specific to the skills/keys we worked on during the lesson that week. 

This class will be taught using interactive slides on Nearpod.com to do drills. I will demonstrate letter-drills by moving my webcam so that the learners can see my hands and keyboard. It is important that they know how to match up the correct finger with each letter so that good habits develop at the start. The drills will be broken up with various activities such as memory games, virtual field trips and jokes on the Nearpod slides. This gives their brains a break in between learning each set of keys so the letters do not "run together" in their minds!
