| Does my child need to be good at typing? |
|
Typing or keyboard skills are important for all students these days - indeed, most university lecturers require work to be submitted in word processed form and will not accept handwritten assignments. We do not expect our students to be great typists! However, most work on NorthStarUK is submitted in word processed form and therefore good keyboard skills will help a student reduce how much time it takes to produce work. There are lots of comptuer programs that students (and their parents!) can use to learn to type better. There are also lots of web sites that offer this facility. Although we do not officially recommend any, you may like to take a look at some of these - http://www.typing-lessons.org/ |
