Typing

[|Extension Touch Typing] Learning to Touch Type As I've said to every class I teach, the most valuable classes I had at secondary school were Touch Typing (on a type writer!) and Computer Skills. Why? Because I use those skills nearly every day!

What is Touch Typing? It's when you can type without looking at the keys. Do you know anyone who can do that?! Many people, when they learn to type, look at the keys and use only two fingers. Touch typing teaches you to use ALL your fingers.

What do I need to know?

2 things: 1. you'll need to know where the QWERTY row is and 2. where the HOME row is. Your fingers 'live' on the HOME row.
