What should students need to learn in touch typing aside from finger positioning?
Hi!
Let students know that bodies need their owners to learn proper typing techniques. When they learn to do it right, their necks, backs, arms, wrists, hands, and fingers will feel better right away—and for the rest of their lives.

Correct body positioning is indeed crucial to avoid developing bad habits that may lead to long term damage.
It is also important to let students know that keyboarding ability is measured in both speed and accuracy. The measure of a proficient typist does not rely solely on the speed of their typing. When learning to touch type, reaching initial mastery will mean a student can type with a relatively high accuracy rate without having to look at the keyboard.
