Introduction to
Keyboarding
Keyboarding: Correct Sitting Position
Click the arrows here to
read the next slide.
1. Push your keyboard to the edge
of the desk.
2.Put your feet flat on the floor if
you can.
3.Make your back straight.
4.Put your arms comfortably at
your sides with your hands in
your lap. Your arms should be
relaxed.
5.Lift your hands to the keyboard, if
your arms are no longer at your
sides, you are sitting too far
away. Make your chair closer if
you can.
Keyboarding: Look for the "bump" keys
●Place your index fingers on the "F" and the "J" keys.
●These are the important "bump" keys. They are the only
keys with bumps.
●Every time you sit at the computer, start by placing your
index fingers on the bumps!
Keyboarding: Correct Finger Position
●Once your pointer fingers are on the bumps, each of your other
fingers goes on the keys next to them, and your thumbs go on the
space bar.
●Your left hand's fingers should be on the "ASDF" and the right hand's
fingers should be on the "JKL;"
●Your hands should be relaxed and your fingers just a little curved.
Keyboarding: Correct Hand Position
●Keep your elbows at your sides.
●The keyboard should be centered on your body.
●Your wrists should be straight.
Keyboarding: Correct Hand Position
●Your forearms should be level with the floor.
●Make sure your wrists aren't bent up or down.
●Your wrists should be hovering over the keys, not
resting on the keyboard.
