Keyboarding

Keyboarding is the process of entering words or data on a keyboard. Correct keyboarding techniques can help you key faster and save time. Businesspeople use keyboarding to prepare correspondence. The school office uses keyboarding to prepare reports, letters, and notes to teachers and parents. You can use keyboarding to key school reports and letters to your friends and relatives. If you practice enough and use correct fingering techniques, you will be able to key faster than you can write. In this unit you will review keyboarding basics. You will practice proper posture and hand and finger techniques. You will use the Home keys and review “reach”. You will review numbers, symbols, and special keys. Remember **NOT** to look at the keyboard!!! ** What is Keyboarding? ** People often use the word //typing// when they describe working at the computer. You may be wondering if the words //keying// and //typing// mean the same thing. In many ways keyboarding and typewriting are the same. Both methods input text with a keyboard. The alphabetical and numeric keys on the computer keyboard and typewriter are arranged in the same way. The finger positions and techniques for striking keys are also the same. The fundamental difference between keyboarding and typewriting is that typewriting puts text directly onto a paper, while keyboarding puts text into computer memory for later access. In addition, the computer keyboard is larger, because it contains computer function keys and a number keypad. Practice..practice!!! [|www.abcya.com]
