Hiding desktop icons
If you want to temporarily hide all of your desktop icons without
actually removing them, right-click an empty part of the desktop,
click View, and then click Show Desktop Icons to clear the check mark
from that option. Now no icons are displayed on the desktop. You can get
them back by clicking Show Desktop Icons again.

The Recycle Bin
When you delete a file or folder, it doesn’t actually get deleted right
away—it goes to the Recycle Bin. That’s a good thing, because if you
ever change your mind and decide you need a deleted file, you can get it
back.

The Recycle Bin when empty (left) and full (right)
If you’re sure that you won’t need the deleted items again, you can

reclaim any disk space they were using.

DAY 4
I. MINI-LESSON
▪ The home for fingers – It’s called the home row because this is the
home position for your fingers. This is the position that your fingers will
return to after you finish typing something, and this is the position from
which you will learn how to find all letters and characters on the
keyboard.
▪ Structure – The home row is the row starting with the Caps Lock key,
and if you look at your keyboard you will notice two small bumps or
lines (depending on your keyboard) on the “F” and “J” key.
▪ Positioning – This is where your index fingers should reside. Your
other fingers should rest on the keys to the left of the “F” key, for your
left hand, and on the keys to the right of the “J” key, for your right hand.
▪ Movements – By doing this, your pinky fingers should be resting on
the “A” key and on the “;” key. Your thumbs will hover above the space
key, and you can use either one to press it. Don’t try to use both at the
same time, because it quickly gets confusing.
▪ Position – Place your fingers in their default position on the home row,
and look at the key above each of your fingers. For “F” this will be the
“R” key, for “J” it will be the “U” key, and so on. Each of your fingers
should reach to the key directly above it, and start memorizing it.
▪ Practicing – Practice this typing technique until you know the top row
just as well as the home row. Now try practicing with a larger text, and
you’ll discover that suddenly you’re able to type a large number of
words, without looking at the keyboard.
15
4. Typing Techniques: The Bottom Row
The bottom row is possibly the easiest row to master, because by now,
due to all the practice you’ve had, your fingers are much more used to
the motions of typing, and your muscle memory is starting to develop.
▪ Technique – All you have to do is learn the new letters of the bottom
row using the same principles as the ones used for the top row. Now
each of your fingers needs to learn the keys directly below it.
▪ Training tip – Exercising with words is fun, and it’s a perfect way of
developing your finger memory, but the real test is typing a large
paragraph from a book.
The numpad requires a typing technique in its own right. If you look
at the 5 key you will see the same raised bar as on the “F” and “J” key.
Keyboarding Techniques
1. Mastering the A, S, D, F, J, K, L, ; keys is the most important technique.
2. Use a color-coded keyboard to know which keys to press during
exercise.
3. Trust yourself and locate the key with your finger to build muscle
memory.
4. Each row and key is reserved to be hit by certain fingers.
5. Keep fingers to their designated area to lower distance, improve speed
and reduce strain.
6. Use the other hand when switching to upper cases to allow
simultaneous typing.
7. Focus on accuracy first, speed builds up with practice and progress.
8. Maintain a typing rhythm with similar time intervals for each keystroke.
9. Apply gentle pressure and force when hitting keys to improve efficacy.
10. Always maintain good posture while typing.
11. Keep a distance of at least 50 cm between eyes & screen to avoid
health issues.
12. Ensure a minimum height of 70 cm for tabletops to allow a healthy
posture
13. Practice touch typing techniques regularly to improve accuracy and
speed.
16
This will require correct hand positioning and smooth eye-finger
muscle communication. Below are some points to remember:
1. Keep your feet on the floor to maintain balance.
2. Position your body to the “H” key. Hold your elbows at sides.
3. Keep your overall posture in a straight position.
4. The chair should be 10-15 cm away from the keyboard.
5. Have your fingers curved over the home row keys.
6. Remember to keep wrists off the keyboard. You will do this quite often.
7. Eyes should be on the content while fingers locate the keys.
_____1. The most important technique to learn to type faster is feel typing.
_____2. Keep fingers to their designated area to a higher distance,
improve speed and reduce strain.
_____3. Eyes should be on the content while fingers locate the keys.
_____4. Keep fingers to their designated area to lower distance, improve
speed and reduce strain.
_____5. Mastering only A, S, D, F, J, K, L, ; keys is the most important
technique.
IV. EVALUATION
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answer on
the space provided before the number.
___3. Which of the following is the easiest row to master all the practice
you’ve had so that your fingers are much more used to the motions
of typing, and your muscle memory is starting to develop?
a. bottom row typing technique c. top row technique
b. touch type technique d. left type technique
___4. Which of the following is the position of your fingers that will return
to after you finish typing something?
a. home row typing technique c. the touch typing technique
b. numpad row typing technique d. All the above.
___5. Which of the following is to learn the new letters of the bottom row
using the same principles as the ones used for the top row?
a. bottom row typing technique c. top row technique
b. touch type technique d. bottom type technique
