Basic Typing Lessons

Typing learning for kids - just got easier! Starting with a baseline, the Basic Typing Lessons are for beginners and should be introduced at age four or younger. This collection of lessons deals largely with the letters themselves, along with the other vital keys which are geographically near. By teaching nearby letters and keys in groups, these lessons build the base of knowledge necessary for all the higher lessons and prepare kids for the Beginner lessons which introduce home row keys.

In each of these lessons, users learn about the placement of their fingers on the keyboard, along with which fingers should be touching which key. Using grey tone silhouettes as guides, along with red and green color coding and a penalty noise to indicate successful and unsuccessful typing, these lessons will provide even the newest of users with a much wider breadth of knowledge about the keyboard, and about proper typing etiquette.

This color-coded penalty and reward system also works to give the kids pause when they make a mistake, encouraging them to focus less on overall speed, and more on accuracy. Also, by focusing on the letters themselves, instead of initially worrying about capitalization, the program makes the lessons simpler.

The lessons are fairly short, and easily digestible, meaning that kids with even the shortest of attention spans, or those with short periods of time to work can learn a few keys at a time, while still building on the larger cumulative base of knowledge, perfect for younger kids and those trying to learn in their free time.

How do I teach my child to type?

At first, younger kids practice typing on a QWERTY keyboard with a resting hand placement on the home row keys (ASDF JKL:) and proper posture, sitting up straight with feet on the floor. Then they will begin to learn touch typing.

Then, they can move on to basic key stroking from the home row. Soon, kids will gain the muscle memory to move into letter sequencing and typing small words. Once the basic location of keys is mastered, they can start to work on speed and accuracy by doing drills online.

Fluency is the combination of speed and accuracy. This is measured in words per minute or WPM. Kids should strive to increase their words per minute with every typing test. They can learn and practice with all sorts of typing games online.

As China's most famous attraction, the Great Wall of China is an essential stop on all China tours. Commonly considered a wonder of the world, the Great Wall boasts a history of over 2,000 years and stretches more than 3,000 miles across several provinces of northern China, making it one of the most impressive ancient structures on the planet.

Virtual Tour of the Great Wall of China

Best Sections to Visit

Beijing is usually considered the main gateway to the Great Wall, since there are several world-famous sections of the Wall in the suburbs of Beijing, including Badaling, Mutianyu, Jinshanling, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, and Jiankou. These sections were built during the Ming dynasty between the 14th and 17th centuries and have been well preserved.

Of all the sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, Badaling is the most famous one. As a result, Badaling is the destination of choice for many large tour groups and is often very crowded. The nearby Juyongguan Great Wall features one of the three great mountain passes of the Great Wall but is almost as crowded as Badaling.

Mutianyu Great Wall is just as close as Badaling and offers wonderful views of the Great Wall and the surrounding hills with far fewer tourists. This section of the Wall also features a thrilling toboggan run that you can ride from the top of the Wall down to the bottom of the hill.

Due to their proximity, Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu are all doable as a half-day trip from downtown Beijing. We usually recommend Mutianyu over Badaling or Juyongguan, since the massive crowds at the latter two sections can ruin one's experience of this impressive structure.

Further away from Beijing, Jinshanling Great Wall is about 150 km northeast of downtown and it usually takes about two and a half hours to drive there. Despite the longer drive, Jinshanling is among the most stunning sections of the Great Wall. If your itinerary allows for one full day seeing the Great Wall, then we highly recommend a tour to Jinshanling.

Gubeikou and Jiankou can also be visited within a day tour from Beijing. Both sections have not been restored since they were first built in the Ming Dynasty, making them ideal choices for those who want to hike and experience the wild Great Wall. Do be aware that the Jiankou section features very steep and dangerous climbs and is only suitable for experienced hikers.

There are also some other famous sections of the Great Wall within or outside Beijing, such as Huanghuacheng, Simatai, and Shanhaiguan, but we only recommend these if you are visiting the Great Wall for a second time or planning a multi-day, in-depth Great Wall tour.

Great Wall Hiking and Camping

Due to its original purpose as a military defense, almost all sections of Great Wall were built on mountain ranges and thus involve some challenging climbs and uneven stairs, including the well-restored sections. If you are visiting a restored section but hike to the end of the renovated part, you will be able to see the unrestored part of the Great Wall.

For most visitors, Mutianyu and Jinshanling offer good, medium difficulty hikes, while still being very safe. For those looking for a serious hike along wild, unrestored portions of the Wall, we suggest the Jinshanling to Jinshanling East, or Gubeikou to Jinshanling routes. All these routes boast both unrestored and picturesque renovated sections of the Wall. However, please be aware that hikes along wild, unrestored parts of the Great Wall involve many steep climbs and loose bricks, and can be very dangerous in some places. (People can no longer hike through from Jinshanling to Simatai since the route was closed years ago.)

Camping on the Great Wall is usually banned, especially on the renovated sections. If you want to spend a night sleeping on the Great Wall, we can take you to a watchtower on the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall to experience the life of an ancient soldier and catch amazing sunrise/sunset views over the Wall.

Best Time to Visit

For all sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, the spring months (April to June) offer temperate weather and are great for climbing. In late April to early May, many trees begin to blossom, making this a particularly beautiful period to visit the Wall. Fall is also a nice time to visit, as temperatures are usually comfortable. October to early November are particularly picturesque, as the tree leaves on the mountains begin to change color. The winter months, from December to February, are cold and can be windy, but there are usually far fewer tourists on the Wall during these months. July and August are hot and humid, and thus not the best for long hikes. In addition, it's best to avoid hiking on the Wall after rain or snowfall because some parts can get very slippery.

You should also avoid visiting the popular sections, such as Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu, around National Day (the first week in October) and Spring Festival. August is also a busy time for the Badaling and Juyongguan sections, since students are on summer vacation and many families travel to these famous sections with their kids before the new school year starts. Learn more about how to avoid the crowds when traveling in China.

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid, built by Khufu, was the first and largest pyramid at Giza. Standing 139 meters high (455 ft), it was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for nearly 4,000 years. The pyramid is aligned with the cardinal directions, and faces almost exactly due north, a confounding architectural feat.Next to the Great Pyramid is the Khufu ship, a fully intact solar boat intended to transport the pharaoh to the afterlife.

Inspired by their love of mountaineering, four Googlers decided go on a trip to Everest Base Camp in 2011. Before leaving they learned they could capture imagery of the trip for Google Maps with a tripod and digital camera, and make the photos available in Google Maps for all to see. So they loaded their packs with cameras, tripods, wide-angle lenses, solar chargers, batteries and laptops, and hopped on a plane to Nepal.

The trek to Everest Base Camp was a 12-day adventure in the mountains where they battled altitude sickness, an earthquake, mudslides, snow storms and flash floods to reach their destination and capture this imagery. With the equipment typically used for the Business Photos program, they captured a collection of panoramas at key camps and other interesting stops along the way, including a Buddhist monastery.

This intrepid team hiked more than 70 miles (about 50 hours) and reached an altitude of 18,192 feet -- higher than anywhere in the contiguous U.S. Thanks to their efforts, and the leadership of their guide Bhuwan Karki of Adventure Treks Nepal, this breathtaking imagery is now available in Street View.

The Great Barrier Reef collection was part of the first group of underwater panoramic images added to Google Maps, the next step in our quest to provide people with the most comprehensive, accurate and usable map of the world. With these vibrant and stunning photos you don't have to be a scuba diver-or even know how to swim-to explore and experience six of the ocean's most incredible living coral reefs. Now, anyone can become the next virtual Jacques Cousteau and dive with sea turtles, fish and manta rays.

Starting today, you can use Google Maps to find a sea turtle swimming among a school of fish, follow a manta ray, and experience the reef at sunset. You can also find out much more about this reef via the World Wonders Project, a website that brings modern and ancient world heritage sites online.

We partnered with The Catlin Seaview Survey, a major scientific study of the world's reefs, to make these amazing images available to millions of people through the Street View feature of Google Maps. The Catlin Seaview Survey used a specially designed underwater camera, the SVII, to capture these photos. Whether you're a marine biologist, an avid scuba diver or a landlocked landlubber, we encourage you to dive in and explore the ocean with Google Maps.
