Y<\/span>ou know, I’m wanting my children to eventually post articles here, and perhaps … set up their own site to start journaling a bit, – perhaps even picking up a computer language like Python or Perl to do some simple scripting. But, guess what all those things require to be efficient? Yep, typing!<\/em> I’ve thought about teaching them to type several months ago … but just never got around to it. Well, Saturday, as a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, I decided to start teaching Rachael … and she loved it!<\/p>\n We started out by challenging her to find two keys on the keyboard that were similar – which, of course, were the “F” and “J” home keys. Next, we lined her fingers up in the home position<\/em>. Then we worked on getting her to learn the letters associated with her left hand. I was quite surprised that she loved doing it. We worked on very simple exercises like:<\/p>\n I had her type these keystroke patters to complete a full line in the editor -roughly 100 characters. After thirty minutes, Justin, saw what was going on and wanted to type as well. I started over and did the same with him. Same exercises, basically. Seems Justin was a bit more coordinated that I thought … he did very well, perhaps all those computer games has his fingers trained better than I thought. Furthermore, I had received the following two confirmation statements that the kids enjoyed learning:<\/p>\n Justin said:<\/p>\n Hey, Dad, can we print this out and let me save it? Mom may want to see this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n After supper, we were watching a movie, and Rachael said:<\/p>\n Hey, Dad, can we go into the computer room and let you give me some more typing lessons?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, the kids may be typing sooner than I thought they would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know, I’m wanting my children to eventually post articles here, and perhaps … set up their own site to start journaling a bit, – perhaps even picking up a… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whatsup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richimages.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
