Keyboarding – do you still type with two fingers?

I don’t know about you but I STILL can’t type properly.  After all these years I still type with two fingers at great speed, always looking at my keyboard AND I make dozens of typos! They are not spelling mistakes – it is just that my fingers get in the way of each other. A parent assured me recently that he recently found a keyboarding site on the internet and taught himself to type properly in two weeks by practising daily. So it can be done! In the wave of technology that is descending on us with such rapid speed, shouldn’t we be pointing our students to some kind of typing programme that they can work on at home? I really don’t want my students to end up like me! I want them to develop fast, accurate typing skills.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" closure_uid_pl6m7j="459" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.65pt; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" closure_uid_pl6m7j="459" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.65pt; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span closure_uid_pl6m7j="463" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong closure_uid_pl6m7j="464">Qwerty keyboard</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" closure_uid_pl6m7j="459" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.65pt; mso-outline-level: 1;"><br /></div><div class="separator" closure_uid_pl6m7j="507" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtb31pClzHAswy9iLGb7pFZvBrUycW1Fmgq1qaWC2nBE35UvTXsslT4TtK8fE2I9fIdCntz5vhHXelEfJeRUZ27jqI602QjXsKfjJlIZfVg2PNfqEBzaEk_bv_6Vg9iSStog98H9MMP7E/s1600/qwerty.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtb31pClzHAswy9iLGb7pFZvBrUycW1Fmgq1qaWC2nBE35UvTXsslT4TtK8fE2I9fIdCntz5vhHXelEfJeRUZ27jqI602QjXsKfjJlIZfVg2PNfqEBzaEk_bv_6Vg9iSStog98H9MMP7E/s400/qwerty.JPG" width="400" xaa="true" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" closure_uid_nenfa4="109" closure_uid_pl6m7j="459" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.65pt; mso-outline-level: 1;"><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><div closure_uid_zgi2px="108"><span closure_uid_zgi2px="106" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">To check whether your keyboard is a QWERTY keyboard, just take a look a the first six keys on the top left.
