@christen_rexing It was a middle school class simply called "keyboarding" for me. And practicing with Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing at home. Can't remember if we still had an Apple IIGS at that point or had moved on to another model at that point. Those were the days.

@Super70sSports Mavis beacon taught me typing

Filmmaker #JazminJones talks about the digital age, deep fakes and the real woman (Renee L’esperance) behind @seekingmavisb, a film about privacy, consent and "Mavis Beacon" — who taught thousands online how to keyboard in the 1980s. @nminow interviews: awfj.org/blog/2024/08/2…
