I think that it should begin about 3rd grade. Research states that 8 years old is a good age because students have developed the coordination and manual dexterity to
-
keyboard efficiently.
-
I agree with the physical development statements, but more importantly they have a reason to communicate in a written format. It doesn’t make sense for kids to learn how to keyboard if they don’t have much to say.

"Amy Lockhart and I had an opportunity to do some keyboarding research in her 4th grade classroom at Price Laboratory School at the University of Northern Iowa. We involved the students in 4-weeks of instruction. We spent 40 minutes a day in the computer lab learning how to keyboard. It was fun and productive."

- The most obvious method is to look at the keyboard, find the desired letter and press the key. This can be accurate but not too efficient. Everyday you see that students have learned to use the hunt-and-peck method to key but this limits their speed. Speed is ultimately important.
- The more productive method of being accurate is to learn touch keyboarding. This is the method taught in schools. Keyboarders memorize which fingers are used to tap each of the keys. After sufficient practice, this connection becomes automatic and the keyboarders can accurately key without even thinking about it.
