I teach computer classes, some of which include keyboarding. If you’ve ever taken a keyboarding class, you may understand that the repetition can become boring for the students. My primary challenges have been to keep motivation high and make it relevant not only to their educational career, but also to their future career goals. I find that by deviating from the canned curriculum I can keep the motivation high. Every other class period, I use Internet typing games, PowerPoint games my colleague and I designed, simulations of what they may encounter in the workplace, and other relevant material that breaks up the monotony. For some students, the “Ah-ha” moments come through these deviations.
