SmartBoard
2 Minute Re-Trainer 

   

The easiest way to adjust to the SmartBoard is to Just type. Complete the following drills once or twice (or until comfortable), and you will be typing faster and easier in no time.

 Repeat 3 Times:

"After the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, he chased the kite over and under the quiet Bavarian zookeeper who was holding a xylophone!' 

Repeat 2 Times:

"After Bob the avocado cob played a mean trick on Lucy the quiet kangaroo, Lucy decided to quickly point out his wicked ways?'

You can also try the BOXCAR Test

To demonstrate the typing advantages of the SmartKey Layout, take the "BOXCAR" test. On your old keyboard, watch how your fingers are forced to move unnaturally when you type the work "BOXCAR". You have to reach way over the "B", the "0" is hard to find, and the "X" and "C" are in unnatural positions. Now type the word "BOXCAR" on the SmartBoard. All the letters are right where your fingers reach. Just reach down for the "B", up for the "0", and down for the "X" and "C". Even the "R" is in a more natural position. Typing is just plain simpler with the SmartKey Layout.
