  2. Action Research Question • “To Cover” or “Not To Cover”? • Will the use of keyboard covers: • teach proper keyboarding technique? • increase accuracy “GWAM”?

  3. Department Goal • Typing Time Program • Keyboard Covers • Requires appropriate keyboarding technique • Increase GWAM

  4. Personal Goal • Provide data needed to discuss: • Technique • “Whatever gets the job done!” • Technique needs to be addressed at elementary level • Accuracy • May type fast but is it accurate • Increase in both • Speed • Accuracy

  5. Set-up Tasks • 1st Quarter Students • Typing Time • No Keyboard Covers • Letters on fingers • 3rd Quarter Students • Typing Time • Keyboard Covers

  6. Set-up Timeline • Data Collection • End of 1st Quarter • November 2, 2007 • Collect Data - GWAM • End of 3rd Quarter • March 28, 2008 • Collect Data - GWAM

  7. Research Avenues“To Cover” or “Not to Cover” • Need to be exposed to correct keyboarding techniques at an early age. • Older students less eager to learn correct approach “Hunt and Peck” • Keyboarding for 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week for 4 to 6 weeks is “most effective”.

  8. Evaluation Process • Compare Data • 1st Quarter vs. 3rd Quarter • Compare Speed • Compare Accuracy • Chart Data • Bar Graph Comparison

  9. Then What? • After collecting data: • Compare data • Accuracy • Speed • Students Reaction • Good or Bad • Frustration Level

  10. The End
