The advantages of touch typing
Beter performance at school
When you touch type you do not have to look at the keys to find the right letters. So you can entirely focussed on what you want to type. This makes it easier to write a full answer or a better report.
Take notes during online classes
Nowadays, there is also more online teaching. If you can touch type, you can make good notes while looking at the screen. Of course, this also applies in class or later at university during lectures & presentations.
Prepared for the future
The computer has become an integral part of our lives. In secondary school, you probably already notice that you use the computer more and more. When you start studying, this will only increase.
And what about when you start working later? There is almost no profession you can think of in which you do not often come into contact with the computer. Chances are that you regularly see your parents working at home on a laptop, often typing with two fingers and constantly staring at the keyboard.
We also spend a lot of time in front of computers in our private lives, so learning to touch type is a huge advantage. Nice to have now, indispensable later!
