Practicing Keyboard Lessons Outside Of Class?
When taking keyboard lessons from a technical or vocational school, one of the best ways to make the most of the classes is to practice outside of the program. This does not necessarily mean using a computer, but instead using templates or cut-outs to solidify the hand positions and letter locations that are taught. Most of learning how to type efficiently is having a muscle memory of the keyboard. Repeating keystrokes outside of class can help to integrate this information into the brain.
Why computer have qwerty keyboard instead of having abc keyboard?
This goes back to when people used typewriters, a man named Christopher Sholes did not like when he had type bar problems (When two different letter 'arms' got tangled) so he made a new typewriter layout which has been nicknamed, the QWERTY keyboard. Christopher Sholes was a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee. The reason computers have QWERTY keyboards is because the most used letters are right there for you to type. If we had an ABC keyboard it would overwork some fingers and underwork others. Therefore the keyboard would not be as efficient as a QWERTY keyboard. Also, typing would get tiring.

Not necessarily. Since you are only tapping parts of the screen and you cannot feel the keys, you will have to look at the keyboard instead of what you are writing. Regular QWERTY keyboard cell phones (non-touch screen) are better for texting because you can feel the buttons and when you press them, so after a while, you can memorize the keyboard and text fast without having to look at the keyboard so you can see what you are typing.
