Tuesday, October 22, 2009 - 1st Substitute

Today you will be working to improve your touch typing skills by completing MicroType Lesson 5 Review and Lesson 6 Learn o and t. The work will be saved in MicroType and will be checked when I return to the class. The lesson are to be completed with the keyboards covered with the blue covers. Before you begin the typing lessons, think about the ten typing techniques that you should be following:

1. Sit up straight

2. Feet flat on the floor in front of you

3. Arms level with the keyboard

4. Keyboard placed near the edge of the table (about 1 inch)

5. Body about one wide hand width from the table

6. Finger tips curved

7. Start and stop each key stroke in home row

8. Wrists up off the table (about a pencil)

9. Elbows relaxed and by your side

10. Eyes on your work (keyboards should be covered with the blue covers)
