Keyboarding Introduction in 2nd Grade

This week, second grade students were introduced to the online program, Dance Mat Typing. Created by BBC schools, this program exposes children ages 7-11 to the concept of touch typing. While keyboarding skills take years to develop, it is important to expose students to proper posture along with hand placement. Student will proceed through lessons independently at their own pace during the school day in their classrooms. Skills will also be reviewed during lab lessons the rest of the year. The students are encouraged to practice at home too.
