Why is keyboarding important?

Keyboarding is an important skill for all students. It involves using correct finger placement and building speed for optimal typing accuracy. When students develop keyboarding proficiency, it becomes an aid to the improvement of their writing skills. It is recommended that all students begin to learn correct placement of fingers on the keyboard as soon as they begin to use the computer.  Keyboarding skills are very important in that they can impact a person's ability to communicate with others in the future, both in social and professional realms.

Urban Keyboarding through Learning.com

Students will be using the Urban Keyboarding program through Learning.com to master their keyboarding skills.  

Students will be using this as their "Bell Ringer" and will be completing 5 minutes a day on the keyboarding program.  Students will be required to complete a minimum of 20 minutes a week for a grade.  If a student is absent they will need to make up this time at home.
