Key Boarding Can Be Fun Day Six of Ten Days of Technology for First Grade

There are almost universal groans when someone says, "key boarding" well I have the cure for all of that. Another of my favorites from BBC is Dance Mat Typing. The kids absolutely love this site and key boarding certainly doesn't get a bad rap from them Dance Mat Typing after working with this program. It is so child friendly with fun characters,music and lots of skills to learn. The program is developmental so the children start right away learning which fingers to use of what keys. There are games to play and progress can be tracked. Key boarding is the biggie once the honeys can key board well it's Power Point and Word here we come! I only took one semester of typing yep back in the day but maybe I would have stayed a whole year if it had been this fun. Cheers,
