Key points:
* Some computer use relies on conceptual understanding (such as understanding the terms "application", "window" etc). Student need practical experience, but the main concepts are understood conceptually.
* There are other skills in computer use, which are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill motor skills] (such as using the mouse and typing) that are need to be learned through repetition.

Activity:
* Students do typing practice (individually).
* If there are not enough keyboards for each student to have one, you do carousel-style group work. You can combine developing typing skills with any other activity that requires individual or small group work.
* Make sure you plan your lesson so that every student has got a chance to practice
* Use a typing tutor
* Students can record their scores to see how they improve over time, or to form a league table.
