The keyboards were covered and they had to slip their fingers under the cover to type. There was a program that was like a video game. It gave them words to type and as they got each letter right the Tarzan character swung to the next vine. If they missed, he fell off and they had to start over. We didn't learn typing until the 7th and 8th grade - but these children were learning in 2nd grade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
