• Is peck typing the new norm?

  I teach writing and one of the things that I started doing was requiring final drafts to be typed (since all students have access to laptops at school, I just give them tons of time to work in class and during my study hall.) They're VERY much hunt and peck typers, so I set them up on typing.com and that's been helping. Because of how now STAAR is online only and requires short answer and constructed response,...

• really struggling with picking up touch typing and feeling horrible about it.

  Do you remember all the letters on the keyboard? If not, do more learning on websites like typing.com. If yes, practice on sites like typeracer. Make sure you're getting 97% accuracy. Source: over 1 year ago

• The Y and B keys - are my bad habits worth correcting?

  So recently I've been trying to learn touch typing on typing.com using the home row rules.

The second phase is one that... Source: almost 2 years ago

• People who are good at reading have different brains

  > me typing this right now is basically just commanding my fingers to punch out the words the voice in my head is telling me to punch out. That sounds really annoying, but I would assume that you could transcribe what someone is saying out loud while continuing to listen? I would find that extremely difficult, as in my mind when I’m typing out letters its a little similar to those typing games[0] where you see a... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
