Christian Keyboarding

Hosted by Leanne Beitel

Welcome to Keyboarding for the Christian School and Home!

This is a typing forum for teachers and parents whereby we learn from each other what works and what doesn't when teaching proper touch typing and word processing using Office XP.  This is for Christian schools and homeschoolers.

This is the companion website for the textbook, Keyboarding for the Christian School.  Designed for students in middle school through high school with a Biblical perspective; lessons include typing drills, timings, letters, envelopes, APA and MLA reports (the ONLY book that features both), centering, and even proofreader's marks.  The textbook is brief--only 78 pages--to be used in conjunction with other curriculum or as a refresher and is available for purchase through
iUniverse,
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. 
 
COMING SOON...
A printable e-book directly from the author will be available for purchase at this website only!


Please sign my Guestbook and visit my Blog.  If you have questions regarding the lessons or would like help in planning a typing course, etc., then send your email to l.beitel@christiankeyboarding.com or contribute to the blog.

Teaching Tip

Proper typing technique will ensure accuracy and speed.  Look for these things:  back straight, feet flat on floor, hands on homerow, eyes on the copy, etc.

To help with speed and accuracy; dictate song lyrics or Bible verses as your student types.  Then, check for accuracy and have your student make the appropriate corrections to help the learning process.
