Tips for this lesson
- 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.
- The Number Row. The numbers sit right above the letters. Reach up from the home row without moving your hands: 1 and 0 for the pinkies, 2 and 9 for the ring fingers, and so on. Look away from the keyboard and let your fingers count.
