6TH GRADE KEYBOARDING

Keyboarding is an introductory course designed to develop a mastery of the keyboard. Students will be expected to key using the touch method of keyboarding (not looking at the keyboard and using proper fingers on keys). An emphasis will be placed on the development of speed and accuracy. Students will learn the keyboard using a software program called MicroType. This program directly correlates with the textbook we use. We will also be utilizing many websites throughout the learning process.

Students will be responsible for learning the alphabet keys, symbol keys, and the 10-key numeric keypad.
