In this episode of the OT School House Podcast, Jayson gets real while breaking down a 2018 article outlining a specific typing program and it's effectiveness versus a free typing program. In this discussion, we will look at various typing methods, the lack of available norms for typing speed, Motor Learning Theory and Keyboarding, and how a premium paid program compares to a free program. Listen in to hear why the research is still not great when it comes to typing.
