QUOTE(jcp @ Sep 10 2009, 09:49 PM) How did you learn where to place your fingers. There are charts for proper placement. http://www.customtyping4.com/tutorials/kb/...t_fingering.htm I really do suggest good finger placement though. I wouldn't type nearly as fast as I do without looking at the keys if I didn't. Then again, people have different methods, that one just worked for me. I think playing piano also helped, because I was already accustomed to not looking at a "keyboard" while pressing a type of key. Also, moving this to Technology, since learning how to type really doesn't have anything to do with typing (unless you want help with a poem and are stuck because you do not know how to properly type. ;)) |
