Keyboarding Skills: The Geneva School recognizes that keyboarding skills are a necessary part of a student’s education. Keyboarding is a skill easily learned at home at the pace of the individual student. There are many interactive software packages available with a proven track record for teaching keyboarding skills.
Since students in 7th grade and up are expected to type essays, etc. and 6th grade students would like the opportunity to do so, the School would like to recommend that students entering these grades who do not have proficient keyboarding skills utilize the summer months to improve in this area.
A software package that has been used by many people for years is Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 16. This software is available for both Mac and Windows machines. (If you have an older computer you will have to order an older version of the software.) It can be purchased from many places including Sam’s Club and Amazon for around $20.
