Utah K-12 Keyboarding Keyboarding Research Assessment Research Resources Software ... Tips Who Should Teach Keyboarding andWhen Should It Be Taught? By Margaret J. Erthal Typewriting, once the domain of business education teachers, was taught in high school. The vocational business curriculum dictated a year of Typewriting I at the freshman level, a year of Typewriting II at the sophomore level, a year of Office Practice and Shorthand I at the junior level, and a year of Secretarial Practice and Shorthand II at the senior level.This curriculum was adhered to by the majority of schools as the objective of business education was vocational in nature. The introduction of the personal computer changed the business education curriculum and the method in which typewriting instruction was delivered. Computers allowed students to become more efficient as they keyed letters, memos, reports, and tables within the business education classroom. Soon, other disciplines began to take advantage of the efficiency and effectiveness of computers.English teachers required typed papers in English Composition class, and mathematics teachers used BASIC programming to expand on paper and pencil problems. A new class, Computer Literacy, appeared in school curricula and eventually achieved the status of a "required" course. Business teachers believed they possessed the knowledge and expertise to teach Computer Literacy, but were soon faced with science and math teachers who also felt they possessed the knowledge and expertise to teach this course.

Fun and Games How To Guides Print Article Email Article Keyboard Basics By Sandy Berger Although a computer keyboard is based on the old typewriter layout, there are some major differences in the ways that keys are used. Computer keyboards also have additional keys. Learning to use the unique keys and special functions of the computer keyboard can save you time and make you more comfortable with your computer. Function Keys (Fkeys) Most computer keyboards have a row of Function keys at the top of the keyboard. These keys are marked F1 through F10 or F12. While they were widely used with older DOS programs, they are not as popular today. However many programs, including most of Microsoft's products, support use of the function keys. As a throwback to DOS days, you will find that the F1 key will often bring up a help menu. The function keys are frequently used in combination with other keys such as the CTRL key, the ALT key, and the Shift key. This results in a plethora of possible keyboard shortcuts. Look in the help menu of the program that you are using to find a list of the function keys and their uses. Return or Enter Key This key is usually marked Return or Enter, but some times it labeled with only a large arrow. This key is used to enter commands or to move the cursor to the beginning of the next line. Also, in every dialog box or alert on both the PC and the Mac, there is a default button or box, which is recognizable by its bold or segmented outline. Pressing the Enter key will select that choice. (There is sometimes a second Enter key on the numeric keypad. This functions exactly like the larger Enter key near the alphabet letters.)

Home Media Center Introducing The First Adult-Quality Computer Keyboard Specially Designed To Fit The Little Fingers Of Children According to William Frankel, vice president of marketing and sales for Datadesk Technologies the company that designed and developed LittleFingers®, "It's almost impossible for a small child to learn to touch-type correctly on adult-sized keys they're just too big and their fingers can't reach. Because of this size and spacing problem, most youngsters resort to the ‘hunt and peck' technique which is a difficult habit to break." "With basic typing skills now being taught in the second and third grade, having a keyboard that fits is a real advantage for any child wanting to develop good computing skills," Frankel says. LittleFingers® is much more than a keyboard, it's an educational tool that has many advantages over traditional computer keyboards, including: A second standard adult keyboard can be plugged in and used simultaneously Mac and PC compatible even if you change systems, your investment is protected

Keyboard Skills NL Résumé, summary Much effective time is lost during the practice of information technology within the several subjects due to a lack of keyboard skills. As computers are used within many subjects, these subjects contribute to a series of typing classes. The school benefits most of the typing skills if pupils attain their skills in grade 1. Therefore, 25 typing classes are given to the pupils of grade 1 within the timetable in the first months of the school year, without having Typing as a subject. The framework is such that the computer leads the class and that each teacher is able to assist.
