Keyboard Success: MicroType PAWS Version.
Fidanque, Ann; And Others
This is a teacher's guide to a 30-lesson keyboarding program for elementary and middle school students. The primary instructional objectives are to teach students how to: (1) keyboard from a correct position; (2) identify the names for the fingers to be used to keyboard; and (3) locate the most frequently used keys with the correct finger. No special software is needed for instruction, and students can enter the lessons on a paper keyboard template, typewriter, blank computer screen, or any word processor. Each lesson provides step-by-step instructions, review, and practice exercises. The program can be used in conjunction with a commercial software program; this version of the guide is designed for use with the Apple, Commodore, and IBM versions of "MicroType: The Wonderful World of Paws." An appendix includes a record grid for recording handwriting and keyboarding rates, wordlists, paper keyboard templates, a sample "certificate of improvement," and reproducible "keyboard success" decals. An 18-item bibliography is also provided. (EW)
