I have a couple of resources that may be helpful when you consider the issue of keyboarding.
1) Utah has a nice website of education and technology topics. See: http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/ate/keyboarding/key.htm and also the research articles on this topic: http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/ate/keyboarding/research/elementary.htm 2) Education World also has archives related to keyboarding: http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/archives/keyboard.shtml 3) And I do know that the ISTE standards recommned that a 5th grader -use input devices such as keyboards efficiently... by the end of 5th grade. http://cnets.iste.org/students/s_profile-35.html Hope this helps, Nancy -- ~PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF ADDRESS~ Nancy Movall Instructional Technology Consultant for School Improvement Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency 824 Flindt Drive Suite 105 Storm Lake, IA 50588 (712) 732-2257 (866) 503-4636 fx 712.732.7654 -- --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------
