I've taught for 25 years, gifted kids K-6, and my value add to the original discussion on keyboarding was that kids who type well, using the homerow keys, are better writers, like to write, and can communicate better in writing than kids who hunt and peck or type with a couple of fingers (like I do). Here's the discussion---let me know if anything said hit a chord with you. N<br />

I'm going to have to look in to that discussion. I, myself, am struggling with this idea - on one hand, I do think that proper typing is needed. But am I just stuck in the "it was good enough for me, it's good enough for my students" mode, or is this a skill that students need? I do know that my son can text quicker than I can type, and he's on a numeric phone pad!

There was a heated discussion on keyboarding here last month. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find it! There were some great comments, N.
