Welcome to Keyboarding Without Tears! In today’s technology-rich society, keyboarding is an essential 21st Century skill all students need to master for success in school and beyond. We know the reasons why our students must become proficient at keyboarding: •
Many schools and districts now use a range of computer-based assessment technologies, and research has proven that students who lack keyboarding proficiency are scoring well under their cognitive abilities.
•
Educators recognize that developing fluency in keyboarding positions students for success.
•
