OfficeSkills.org offers kids keyboarding self-paced courses that are appropriate for kids and teens and are perfect for summer classes or the home schooler. The curriculum introduces new keys by rows where students first learn the middle row, then the top row, and the bottom row of the keyboard. The content is designed with a strong focus on sight and high frequency words.
We license our keyboarding software from Edutyping, a revolutionary web-based keyboarding software designed exclusively for the educational market that is currently used in over 3,500 schools and districts across the country! The software is completely green and requires no installation, no textbooks or paper. The EduTyping software includes all of the necessary lessons, tools, and exercises to effectively introduce and teach K3-12 students the basics of touch-typing technique and skills. Students who successfully complete a course in keyboarding will learn how to touch-type quickly and efficiently on a QWERTY keyboard.
Self-paced courses allow students to work on the course material at their own pace and at a time that is convenient for them. Students have up to six months to complete any course and can print out their own certificates when they reach different milestones in the course. Here are the courses available.
