So, how do you ever become a pro at keyboarding?

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Wednesday Dec 1

You must be on a keyboarding game by 1:40 - if you are not - you will type a report out of the book or lessons. 

You  must also stay quiet.  If you can not stay quiet - there will be no warning - you will type lessons from the maroon book instead.  If you do not type the lessons, you will spend a detention in here typing the lessons.
