Keyboarding Desk Reference Cards in the Classroom:

reading and keyboarding goals:

These goals are accomplished because:

each computer key
- Number/letter/character keyboard placement is visual
on the card
- Provides pre-keyboarding awareness of the keyboard
letter layout.
- Special needs students can practice keyboarding
finger placement right on this card
