Knowing how to efficiently keyboard is essential in today's technological world. Keyboarding is a skill that can be greatly improved upon with practice.

While students are enrolled in Elementary Keyboarding, there is very little outside classroom homework. Because it is crucial that students keep

using the keyboard, I am asking all fifth grade students to do a minimum of 30 minutes of keyboarding practice on their own outside of classroom hours.

Rather than the student sitting down for 30 minutes at a time, I would prefer they break the time into fifteen minute sections on two different days of the

week. Students are strongly encouraged to put in more time if it is available. Students may do this extra practice at home, during free study time at

school, recesses, or before school (pending teacher supervision). I have keyboards and practice material that may be checked out by students that

may need/want them. There are also AlphaSmart computers that can be checked out and taken home. This will be a graded outside the classroom

assignment.  It is very important that you also stress correct keyboarding technique:  eyes on copy, posture, etc.
