Pinterest Board "Keyboarding for the 5th Grade"


I have included on my pinterest board many tips and ideas on how to teach keyboarding in the 5th grade. Keyboarding is so important for children to learn because it's everything they are going to need to be successful in the future. My hope is to be able to teach them the correct way to type so that they never suffer from carpal tunnel. My pinterest board would be shared with the children in my class with the hopes that they would use the tips and the games to improve their keyboarding abilities. I also put on my pinterest wall a few funny pictures and videos to help boost moral.
