keyboarding

I found the keyboarding articles interesting. The history of the typewriter and the thoughts of using one probably seems strange to young students, however a typewriter is what I learned to type on. Instead of keyboarding classes we had typing classes. When my teens came home wanting to take keyboarding I thought it was a class teaching piano.
I found the  keyboarding/typing sites fun and interesting. The first was http://freeonlinetypinggames.com. I clicked on "Typing Passage Game." This is an excellent site for young children probably ages 4-7. It concentrates on one row and 1 or 2 keys at a time, repeating them over and over. This site could help young students learn their letters, as well as,  learning the keyboard.
The next site I visited was http://typingstudy.com. I clicked on "touch typing study." This was a great site for anyone who would like to brush up on their typing skills. It can help improve speed and accuracy. The site contains 15 lessons, games and speed test. I liked the way at the top of the page it showed the letter to type and what you actually typed, but at the bottom of the page it showed hands on a keyboard and which fingers to use.
The third site I checked out was http://www.artypist.com. I went to lesson 1, basic finger positioning. This was a tutorial explaining the basics of typing. It showed hand and finger positioning, and then gives opportunities to try typing the letter correctly. This site would be for older students or adults.
I enjoyed each of these sites and thought they were fun and informative and best of all free.
