"I teach computer to students K-5. I used the plans with the gym teacher for lower
grades. It got the idea across much easier than any software I currently have! The movement and floor work really
involved them and piqued their interest in the actual keyboard" |

"This is what I did with just a day left of school. I taped the letters to the floor
in the gym. Then the kids sat up on the bleachers for a birds-eye view with 4 kids doing the home row for the left hand
and Mr. Spacebar. I switched kids after a few words, then switched to the other hand. I handed out pretend keyboards
on laminated paper to those who weren't actively participating. That kept the rest of the kids as much on task as
I could ask for on the last day |
|
|
Of course we would have been more methodical about this if we had more time and
wouldn't have done it all in 1 afternoon. But the kids lasted a long time, really enjoyed it and I'm sure learned
too. Before picking up the letters, I told another 2nd grade teacher what we'd been doing and she decided to try
it too. Your lessons were fun and educational. I definitely plan to use them again next year with better
preparation and time management. Still, it was a fun last day activity" |

It addresses all types of learning styles: |

"The benefits are the kinaesthetic, visual and auditory learners are all
getting to learn their way. It uses all the senses and any time a child can see as well as do, they remember better.
I will teach my keyboarding classes this way from now on. It's fabulous!" |

"We are home schoolers, so this morning's lesson will now be TYPING. Your program looks
great to me, I have done typing courses in the past, but this makes much more sense. My son had lots of fun just using the
demo and he GOT it, so we bought it! You know we had so much fun with this on Friday. I had to stop the school day after
going 1 hour overtime. My son wanted to keep playing! (myself included) He was at it again today (Saturday in Oz)
lol" |

"It went nicely; the kids have been walking around saying
"animals in the snow dig for food" like a chant. It is very sweet. The parents are thrilled, even to just introduce
keyboarding to them. They are 4 years old. Before I got there, the teachers turned on the computers with no keyboards
and the kids just shared a game. Now that I have started this, they actually are typing letters. No major words yet
since they can't really read, but they can type aaaaa sssss ddddd fffff, etc with the right fingers" |

"I just taught my 11 year old (who gets BORED with ANY repetitious task and gives
up or whines and even cries wanting to stop). But after about a minute on your preview sample, HE CONTINUED effortlessly,
for the first time. WE BOTH enjoyed each other, me teaching him and him learning it! I kept looking at other typing
tutors the internet had to offer, but they did not compare to your method!"" |
