Second Grade Keyboarding Skills

During STEM Project Integration time, second grade students come to the STEM lab for introductory lessons on how to use computers.  They are learning how to log in using their school usernames and passwords, and are then using a set of typing lessons entitled Keyboarding Without Tears.  This is a great program that has them do games and activities which forces them to use correct hand placement while learning and playing.  They really enjoy it.
