After being in the classroom for 9 weeks, I came across this article and read it. I completely agree with the article.We need to re-evaluate teaching keyboarding to our students, as it is no longer required. Computers are everywhere now and while you will need to know how to use it, you also have to know how to type very quickly and very accurate. Employers don't want someone that makes a lot of mistakes. Below is the link for the article:

If the school doesn't want to add a keyboarding class, we could at least use videos and assign it as homework. Youtube has a bunch of videos, just like the one below, on how to type correctly.

In conclusion, I believe that schools need to bring back keyboarding. Please list your comments in the box below.
