Learning to keyboard is more than just learning which finger goes where. It is a process that involves repetition and the correct posture and hand and finger positions must be used consistently. This takes several hours of practice over a period of several weeks.

Discuss the importance of being able to keyboard correctly. Why is important? How many words a minute can you type? How close are you to being Nevada State proficient with 30 wpm? What websites or software do you use to practice typing? Give the URL and a brief description of the website.
