Shakera’s Answer

The best way to improve your office computing skills is practice, practice, practice. Regularly use Microsoft or Google tools to write and format documents, organize and track data, create presentations, send emails, and manage a calendar. Everyday tasks can double as great practice, such as:
• Tracking a budget or class schedule in Excel or Google Sheets
• Creating a simple presentation to summarize a project
• Rewriting a document using proper formatting and styles
• Organizing files and folders the way you would in a real job

Take advantage of free learning resources like Microsoft Learn, Google Workspace Training, LinkedIn Learning, and YouTube tutorials. Learning a few keyboard shortcuts can also help you work faster - start small and build as they become second nature. Be curious and ask questions when you notice how others format or present their work.

Finally, don’t underestimate typing skills. Strong accuracy and speed make every other computing task easier. I used Mavis Beacon in high school to build this foundation, and while it may seem outdated, there are many modern (and free) tools available today that can help strengthen this essential skill.

Strong office computing skills aren’t built overnight, but with consistent practice and curiosity, they become second nature and pay off in every stage of your education and career.

Shakera recommends the following next steps:

Pick one tool to focus on first and use it consistently for everyday tasks
Set aside short, regular practice time (15–30 minutes a few times a week)
Build speed and confidence by learning a few keyboard shortcuts
Observe and ask questions when you notice how others format documents
Move to another tool once you feel comfortable

Hello,

I suggest exploring the Microsoft Suite, which includes many programs often used in office settings. You can find beginner-friendly tutorials on YouTube and websites like GCF LearnFree. Coursera offers well-structured courses if you're looking for more in-depth learning. Additionally, Microsoft Office 365 has free tutorials you can use. To improve your typing speed and accuracy, try Monkeytype. It's a great site because you can customize its design for comfortable reading while practicing.
