In this lesson, students will learn fundamental typing techniques, including the proper finger placements for the home row keys, spacing, and returns. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining correct posture, wrist positioning, and taking necessary breaks to prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Students will practice consistently without looking at their hands by using a covering technique to enhance muscle memory. Daily drills will ensure the integration of these keyboarding skills, pivotal for success in academic and professional settings.

Process The important things to remember are: Use the correct fingers There's no need to rush! Always rest your wrists on the desk You should take a rest, and shake your hands and arms to relax your muscles if you get tired It's important not to look at your hands when you are learning to type. The best way to ensure that you don't look at your hands is to cover them up - you can make a simple box out of cardboard or wood to cover both the keys and your hands
