Despite the fact that students these days grow up with more knowledge about computers, tablets, and technology, little opportunity has been available to explicitly teach 21st century technology skills like typing. In our classroom, we are fortunate to have 1:1 iPads, but students have yet to learn the standard QWERTY keyboard that is used in most schools and places of work. My project is to help students learn basic typing skills so that they are able to successfully communicate more effectively and efficiently with peers, teachers, and future employers. By implementing keyboards in the classroom and giving mini lessons on basic typing format, I hope to see an increase in the desire to write and the desire to learn.
