In 1977 I trained to be a typing teacher, then took full teacher training, followed by an Open University degree. I then took a course to teach dyslexic students. I campaign constantly for school children to be taught keyboard skills and the full range of functions available in word processing which will enable any child - dyslexic and non-dyslexic - to achieve the best possible results in education. After the 16+ exams, A Levels and University courses are very demanding and a thorough knowledge of word processing (via WORD or other program) PLUS touch typing skills will ensure they are not typing three and four thousand word essays with two fingers. Touch typing liberates dyslexic students and they blossom.<br />I have tried to put a link to my blog but please drop by to read the first few I have put on about ICT being taught PROPERLY.<br />www.dicastle32.blogspot.com<br /><br />ps I would love to hear from other teachers in other countries about this failing in our schoolsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032851874393153493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653385292127991296.post-81177538934572335012012-02-17T13:40:49.309-08:002012-02-17T13:40:49.309-08:00You should get some tips from my website for some ...You should get some tips from my website for some of your content :) Your blog looks good btw great subject choice <br />http://www.whatisict.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
