CBM #9 Keyboarding

Aria, Priya, and Scarlett are participating in a school computer science competition. They are asked to identify the home row keys on a standard keyboard. Can you assist them?

• 123456

• The home row keys on a standard keyboard are ASDF for the left hand and JKL; for the right hand.

• ZXCVBNM

• QWERTY

In a computer science class, Liam, Ava, and Aiden are discussing the importance of typing skills. Liam argues that there are no health benefits to maintaining correct finger placement while typing. Aiden, however, believes that correct finger placement while typing slows down the typing speed. Ava, on the other hand, insists that it is crucial to maintain correct finger placement while typing to boost typing speed, accuracy, and minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries. As their computer science teacher, who do you think has the most valid point?

• Liam: There are no health benefits to maintaining correct finger placement while typing

• Ava: It is crucial to maintain correct finger placement while typing to boost typing speed, accuracy, and minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

• Aiden: Correct finger placement while typing slows down the typing speed

• None of them have a valid point

Imagine this! Hannah, Michael, and Abigail are in a competitive typing contest at their school. They're using a unique method where they don't even need to look at the keyboard, instead they rely on their muscle memory to type at lightning speed! Can you guess what this amazing technique is called?

• Typing using only the index fingers

• Touch typing technique is a method of typing without looking at the keyboard, using muscle memory to type quickly and accurately.

• Typing with only one hand

• Typing with eyes closed

During a computer science class at school, Aria, Liam, and David are discussing keyboard shortcuts. They each have a favorite shortcut and want to know which one is the most useful in a real-world scenario. Can you help them decide?

• 1. Alt + F4 (Aria's choice: close window)

• 2. Shift + Delete (Liam's choice: permanently delete)

• 3. Ctrl + A (David's choice: select all and delete)

• 1. Ctrl + C (copy), 2. Ctrl + V (paste), 3. Ctrl + Z (undo) (Your choice)

Grace, Daniel, and Hannah are participating in a school typing competition. James, Avery, and Michael, who are the previous winners, are curious to know how fast they should type to maintain their efficiency. What is the recommended typing speed for efficient typing, according to the pros?

• The recommended typing speed for efficient typing is around 40 words per minute (WPM).

• The recommended typing speed for efficient typing is around 60 words per minute (WPM).

• The recommended typing speed for efficient typing is around 20 words per minute (WPM).

• The recommended typing speed for efficient typing is around 100 words per minute (WPM).

Abigail, Maya, Evelyn, Grace, Zoe, and Aiden are participating in a thrilling typing competition at their school's annual tech fest! They're racing to type out a paragraph using only the home row letters on their keyboards. Can you help them figure out which fingers they should be using to type these letters?

• They should use their pinky fingers

• They should use their palms

• They should use their thumbs

• Abigail, Maya, Evelyn, Grace, Zoe, and Aiden should use their middle fingers for the letters 'D' and 'K', their index fingers for the letters 'F' and 'J', and their ring fingers for the letters 'S' and 'L'.

Avery, Arjun, Liam, David, Aria, and Zoe are part of a typing club at school. They are preparing for an upcoming touch typing competition and are discussing the benefits of touch typing. Can you help them understand the advantages of touch typing?

• Decreased typing speed and accuracy

• The advantages of touch typing include increased typing speed, improved accuracy, reduced strain on fingers and wrists, and the ability to focus on the content being typed rather than the keyboard.

• Inability to focus on the content being typed

• Increased strain on fingers and wrists

Our friends Liam, Avery, Scarlett, Priya, Aria, and Jackson are participating in a real-world typing competition at their school. They're all eager to win. What's the best strategy they could use to boost their typing speed and claim victory?

• They should completely abandon their keyboards

• They should start munching on more fruits and veggies

• They should take a power nap every hour

• They should practice consistently and utilize online typing tutorials or software to enhance their speed.

Rohan, Isla, and Jackson are working on a group project in their computer class. They are discussing the best ways to use their computer efficiently. Rohan brings up the topic of keyboard shortcuts. Can you help them understand the benefits of using keyboard shortcuts?

• Isla argues that keyboard shortcuts make it harder to navigate and perform tasks on a computer.

• Rohan thinks that using keyboard shortcuts can cause hand and wrist strain.

• Jackson believes that keyboard shortcuts do not save time or improve productivity.

• Or, do you think that using keyboard shortcuts can save time, improve productivity, reduce strain on the hands and wrists, and make it easier to navigate and perform tasks on a computer?

Elijah, Mason, and Henry are participating in a real-world typing competition at their school. Noah, Zoe, and Ethan are their mentors. What could be the consequence if they don't position their fingers correctly on the keyboard during the competition?

• They could type like lightning, reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries, and make fewer typos.

• They could type at a snail's pace, reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries, and make fewer typos.

• They could type super fast, increase the risk of repetitive strain injuries, and make fewer typos.

• Incorrect finger placement could result in slower typing speed, higher risk of repetitive strain injuries, and a greater chance of making mistakes.
