Tip / Remind students to activate the NUM (number) LOCK key. When the NUM LOCK key is activated, the green light above the keypad comes on. Demonstrate to students each new reach on the keypad showing them the proper finger to use and the proper stroking technique. Allow them to practice the reach looking at their fingers, but without striking the keys. Then ask students to look away (at the keyboarding chart or at you) and strike the key as you call it. Use this method to introduce all the numeric keypad keys. / Glencoe/McGraw- Hill Lessons 28-33
