Keyboarding Essentials Real Skills! Keyboarding is now one of the fundamental life skills for todays technological age; thus, it is important for all students. Keyboarding can best be described as (1) a computer literacy tool, (2) a communication tool, and (3) a productivity tool. (Keyboarding Strategies Guide, NBEA, Pg. 1) I.Why teach keyboarding?

Why teach keyboarding - The keyboard will be obsolete? Voice recognition will render the keyboard obsolete in 10 years? (Statement by a presenter at a state conference in 2002) Assumptions 1.Voice recognition has matured into the perfect product and has become Star Trek like. 2.No problems recognizing accents, slurred speech, speech when you are sick, speech from different parts of the country, or sounds that people sometimes mis-articulate (just ask a Speech-Language pathologist). 3.No training needed, it instantly recognizes the speech characteristics of any person that sits down at any given computer. 4.It is found everywhere and on every computer. 5.Voice recognition software has mastered short-cuts and enhancements that make speaking faster than typing (think web browsing and data entry). Problems 1.Privacy, Security, & Confidentiality Office/Lab/Classroom 2.Multitasking Call center, dispatch, office 3.Social etiquette Office, stations, crowds

Why teach keyboarding - Is keyboarding important? In a word: PRODUCTIVITY Productivity: The means by which American workers compete effectively in an increasingly global marketplace of labor, while at the same time commanding higher wages and benefits then their foreign rivals. U.S. manufacturers responded to their global challenge by largely abandoning commodity products and improving quality. For American service workers to hang on to their jobs, they will have to make similar changes. Barry P. Bosworth, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, points out that the fastest-growing service fields are the engineering and management of computerized sales and supply systems. To shine in those careers, he says, workers have to master at least four skills: computer literacy, typing, an understanding of how complex organizations work, and the ability to deal with people (either in person or electronically). Yet despite the fact that services account for 80 percent of private-sector employment, how many high schools require courses in typing, computer science, operations research, and interpersonal relations? Talk about productivity: If critics want to be truly effective at keeping jobs at home, they should stop scolding businesses and start crusading for better education reform. Barry P. Bosworth, Senior Fellow - Economics Studies, Brookings Institution

Why teach keyboarding - Is keyboarding important? Student Literacy York University - Toronto, Canada Full study available at: A.Keyboarding improves productivity of students. A few teachers, while noting greater writing motivation, either found no change in overall productivity or a decrease in output, usually due to students lack of keyboarding skills: i.For my strong writers, using the (laptop brand) was a thrill. My weaker writers struggled and also did not like having to type-they were weak in keyboarding… (Page 32) B.When keyboarding improved, it impacted story length: i.The more comfortable they got with the (laptop brand) and the more keyboarding familiarity they acquired the longer their stories became. Volume increased in length of writing once students finished the … typing program. (Page 32) C.Keyboarding benefits at risk students: i.A student with dyslexia in my class has greater success recognizing letters on the keyboard and his work is more legible. (Page 37) York Universitys Centre for the Study of Computers in Education performed a study in June 2000 comparing students given access to laptop computers with the following ratios: 1:1, 2:1, and 4:1. Writing samples were also collected from a control class room in the same schools that did not have access to computers. Below are some of the highlights of the study:

Why teach keyboarding - Is keyboarding important? York University study continued: D.Daily keyboarding practice is important in developing student productivity skills: i.I am able to integrate and accomplish a fairly good degree of the standards of the stringent new curriculum. Daily practice also allows students to develop their touch typing speed in a strong workable level…I really think they facilitate publishing various forms of writing so productivity goes up. (Page 38) Study Summary: 1)Keyboarding skills encouraged student writing. 2)Improving keyboarding skills correlated with longer story length. 3)Keyboarding skills support at risk student populations. 4)Increased curriculum accomplishments with strong keyboarding skills.

Why teach keyboarding - Help students achieve Common Core Standards The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) 45 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia. English, language arts, and mathematics standards set of expectations for student knowledge and skills that high school graduates need to master to succeed in college and careers.

When should keyboarding be taught? General consensus is grade 3 or 4 Ellsworth Publishing Co. (Keyboarding Online) experience with 1000s of elementary schools Keyboarding Strategies Guide, NBEA © 2006 Grades 1 & 2 early awareness Frequent and consistent reinforcement Repetition skill, muscle memory, kinesthetic/tactile learning Frequency is more important than long extended periods 3-4 x minute sessions is far better 1 x 60 min session Elementary grades: Practice no more than 20 minutes. Higher grades can practice much longer, entire class period. Considerations for teaching keyboarding Teachers should be trained and motivated to impress proper keyboarding skills. Attention span Can keys be manipulated effectively: Finger dexterity, fine motor skills, muscle control, hand-eye coordination Motivation and need Maturity Individualize to student learning level.

Motivate & Implement Motivate What if I told you that you could create things on the computer better and faster than you do now? This quarter you get to improve your skills so you can do just that! We start with asking, Why are we doing this? Students share examples of people they know who can type well and we brainstorm why and when that is a beneficial skill. Students appreciate the opportunity to show growth. Keyboarding online time is for training your brain correctly. No pressure to get an assignment done quickly and resort to bad habits. Practice it correctly with no judgment and you WILL improve! Implement Students work for minutes each day for a 9 week quarter class. The daily, consistent practice is key to improvement. Growth is amazing. Most kids double or triple their starting score. The course entry is a low pressure way to get their current score and use this as their starting place. Students are able to be self-directed and work at their own pace. The first activity they do when they come into the classroom is Keyboarding online. They start at their own level and move through the lessons from there. Students are able to access from home for continued practice or for students who are absent. Nickel Test
