	~~Although~~ typing is a fairly mechanical skill, it is really important that all participants learn to type reasonably well. They do not need to be able to type very fast, but they do need to learn how to type reliably, and without searching for ~~keys.~~

	~~It is best to address this by using a "typing tutor" programme, and for the~~ participants ~~to do regular individual practice. We would recommend that they do about 15 minutes every few days (ideally three times a week).~~
	}}

	{{activity\|stgw\|: Pair work on familiarisation with typing tutor\|10}} Familiarise yourself with a typing tutor programme. From now on, you should spend a little bit of time practising typing, ideally a few times a week. This will really help you speed up your interaction with the netbooks.

	~~Record your typing speed in your reflective journal.~~

	'''The seating arrangement'''. Sometimes labs are arranged in a certain way, because of certain concerns. For instance, if the school administration is worried about off-task behaviour, computers are arranged in rows. However, this isn’t a good solution, as it interferes with groupwork. Instead, if a teacher is worried about off-task behaviour, they can cruise around the room!		'''The seating arrangement'''. Sometimes labs are arranged in a certain way, because of certain concerns.
