03:13 We now see the English keyboard which is the standard keyboard used most of us.

04:52 Now let us see if there are differences between the Tux Typing keyboard, laptop keyboard, and desktop keyboard.
05:00 Notice that the Tux Typing keyboard and the keyboards used in desktops and laptops are similar.
05:10 Now, let’s see the correct placement of our fingers on the keyboard.
05:14 Look at this slide.
05:16 It displays the fingers and their names. Fingers, from left to right, are named:
05:21 Little finger,

Ring finger, Middle finger, Index finger and

Thumb. 
05:27 On your keyboard place your left hand, on the left side of the keyboard.
05:32 Ensure that the little finger is on alphabet ‘A’,
05:35 Ring finger is on the alphabet ‘S’,
05:38 Middle finger on alphabet ‘D’,
05:41 Index finger on alphabet ‘F’.
05:44 Now, place your right hand, on the right side of the keyboard.

06:03 Use your right thumb to press the space bar.
06:08 The two hand images will guide you to use the right finger to type the character.
06:14 Wondering what the red circle of the left-hand little finger is?
06:19 Your guess is right. You need to use that finger to type a.
06:23 Place your fingers on the keyboard as indicated earlier in the lesson.
06:29 Now, let us start typing.
06:32 As we type, the characters are displayed in the line below the Teacher’s line.
06:39 Let us name this the Student’s line.
06:42 Now let’s type a character that is not displayed in the teacher’s line.
06:47 Do you see that mistyped character displayed in the student’s line?It is not displayed.
06:53 Instead an X mark briefly appears on the mistyped character on the keyboard.
06:59 Let’s type a few more letters.
07:02 Now let us collect the metrics of our typing.
07:07 By now you would have guessed what the fields on the left hand side indicate.
