Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect. -- Vince Lombardi
#6. Intermediate - Typing.com
There is always more room for practice. Great piano musicians, don't stop at greatness, they practice. Football teams that are made up of the best players in the world, still practice. The same is true for BUSINESS SKILLS, practice. Keyboarding is a skill that although useful right now today -- may not even be practiced in the future. It just may be a SKILL that is no longer needed as technology continues to advance.
My goal is to help get you ready for ALL possibilities of the FUTURE and for right now; that includes KEYBOARDING -- SO, we are going to practice.
You should have set up an account on the website TYPING.COM earlier in class. You should also have started the beginner portion of the STUDENT LESSONS (just for practice). Now it is time to get into it!
