Determining how you best learn and using materials that cater to this style can be a great way to make school and the entire process of acquiring new information easier and much more intuitive. Here are some great tools that you can use to cater to your individual learning style, no matter what that is. Visual Learners

Typing Tutorial Use our keyboarding tutorial to master the letters and numbers on your keyboard, using the regular ("qwerty") keyboard, or other keyboards such as the Dvorak or Colemark keyboards. The first typing lessons are relatively simple – a few letters at a time, but as you progress the lessons will become more complex until you will finally become a touch typing expert. And, if you wish to focus on specific letters, you have the option of practicing on a text that YOU provide, or practice on real life BBC News texts in various subject areas! You can easily find the starting position without looking at the keyboard - feel the bumps on the letters 'F' and 'J' (at the bottom of the key). In the beginning of the typing lessons, you will be practicing with letters that don’t spell out any words.
