Unit Statement: In this unit the student will demonstrate proper keyboarding technique.
Proper technique forms the foundation for successful touch keyboarding. The importance
of demonstrating and continuously encouraging proper technique with the students
cannot be over-emphasized. Technique should be observed and closely monitored
whenever a student is operating a keyboard, whether they are keying a story or practicing
keyboarding drills. It is extremely important to encourage and develop good keyboarding
habits right from the start.
Essential Outcomes: (assessed for mastery)
1. The Student Will key the alphabetic and numeric keyboard by touch using the
correct finger of the correct hand.
2. TSW apply the skill of touch keyboarding to all areas of study whenever possible.
3. TSW use the correct hand for all alphabetic, numeric, and special purpose keys
including cursor (arrow) keys, escape key, delete key, and the break key.
4. TSW demonstrate proper technique including but not limited to ergonomically
correct posture.
5. TSW type at a speed of at least 35 words per minute with greater than 90%
accuracy.
Introduced & Practiced:
1. The Student Will use audio typing (transcription) to further develop the skill of
touch keyboarding.
2. TSW practice copy typing (copying of a printed text) to further develop the skill of
touch keyboarding.
