A Critical Component in the Success of All Children
Learning to type efficiently is a first important step in becoming a proficient computer user.
We have a strong belief that learning to keyboard requires the presence of a strong, positive teacher, and should be delivered in a concentrated time frame.
Our Keyboarding classes teach beginning keyboarders how to move from hunt and peck typing to coordinated touch typing. This class is aimed at kids who really cannot efficiently use a keyboard (i.e. typing less than 10 wpm). It is not a class for kids who are already typing at 20-30 wpm, but may have developed their own typing style.
Our goal in teaching keyboarding is to develop proper techniques without concern about typing speed. Speed evolves from practicing good technique. We use the Herzog method which incorporates an alphabetical approach and hub key sensors which provide tactile feedback (a multi-sensory approach seems to yield good results with most students).
These classes are small, with a maximum number of 10 kids (though we must have a minimum of 6 kids registered to offer the class).
