(Optional) Improve keyboarding techniques.

Improvement should include techniques such as

• positioning the body and feet
• using proper wrist and finger position
• keyboarding by touch and without pauses
• spacing quickly
• using the mouse efficiently
• keeping fingers curved and upright over keys
• keeping eyes on copy
• entering data by touch at a progressive speed and with progressive accuracy, using untimed practice and teacher-guided drills.

For students with disabilities that inhibit attainment of the touch system, instructional modifications (e.g., using dictation software) should be made as necessary.
