Now that early elementary school students have learned the letters on the keyboard and
correct finger use, what next? |
|
| o |
|
Why teach early elementary school students correct finger use when
they have limited access to computers in class and at home to practice this newly-learned skill |
|
| o |
|
We have been told the fingers of Early Elementary School children are not developmentally ready
for keyboarding |
|
|
At this age, students don't need to continually practice as speed is not important,
but they do need to type correctly when they do have access to computers in class and at home. This prevents them getting
into the bad habit of typing with two fingers |
|

|
As this is a memory-association method, there are many fun ways for teachers and parents
to reinforce correct finger use when students don't have access to
computers . . More |

|
When students do have access to computers, integration of this newly-learned skill with class
curriculum work and computer use at home is easy . . More |

|
The question of whether or not Early Elementary School children are developmentally ready
for keyboarding has been widely debated since the early 1990s and, years later, it is still being debated |
|
|
We believe (and
experts on the subject agree) that there's no problem with starting kids
keyboarding early. It's time to stop talking, teach keyboarding in a fun way, verbally reinforce this newly-learned skill at
every opportunity and give the student short bursts on computers |
