KEYBOARDING
Keyboarding skills are critical to your productivity in all your classes. Putting in a little extra effort and a few minutes EVERY day can make a huge difference.
GOALS: Speed = 30wpm, Accuracy = 100%
CONSIDER: How would you personally rate your own keyboarding skills? *
GREAT - I'm so good at typing I don't even think about it when I'm doing my work.
GOOD - I'm still getting better at it but I can do all my assignments without any problems.
FAIR - I have to focus on it a lot and sometimes I struggle to get my writing assignments done in the time given but, the more I do it, the better it gets.
POOR - I feel frustrated and upset whenever we have to do a lot of typing and time seems to always run out before I can finish the assignments.
Assignment 4
Part A - Take the first 5-10mins of class to do some keyboarding warmups.
Part B - WHEN YOU ARE READY - - Go to the TESTS link at the top of your screen.
