Intro to Typing

We are starting to learn typing using all 10 of our fingers.

Before we get started we need to think about how we sit, which is called posture.

Bad posture can hurt your body after a while.

Watch the video about how you should sit while on the computer.

Posture isn't just about how you sit but also about where your hands go.

Watch this video to get some good tips on typing before getting started.

Now that we know how to sit we need to know where our fingers go.

This song will help us remember where our pointer fingers go,

everything else just falls in line next to the pointer fingers.

They rest on F and J in the Home Row,

a special place in the middle of the keyboard for our hands to rest.

Watch the song to see where your fingers go.

Now we need to practice a little before we start working on our typing skills.

Now you can start typing. We will start by practicing with Dance Mat Typing.
