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.
- Muscle Memory. Every correct keystroke strengthens the pathway in your brain. Every wrong one strengthens a bad habit. Type slowly and accurately at first — speed is a side effect of precision, not the other way around.
