Tips for this lesson
- Don't Look Down. The urge to peek at the keyboard is strong, but resist it! Your keyboard has small bumps on the F and J keys — feel them with your index fingers to find home position without looking.
- Sit Straight, Be Healthy!. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor. Keep your wrists floating above the keyboard, not resting on the desk. Your elbows should be bent at about 90 degrees. Good posture keeps you comfortable and typing longer.
