Best answer
Mine are picking it up while doing their homework in Google Classroom. As they’re typing, I’ll show them how to maneuver and do spell check as they go. It seems almost second nature.

I think she meant typing in general. Or learning how to use a keyboard to write.

@nefen67 I graduate collage in 2005, never new how to use it. It was so hard to get used to it untill 2008, worked in small company boss didnt believe in nothing new. Thankspwighter was so frustrating you cant delete, just x out. And never worked for export documents, but starting all over again when you mess up, lol
