Increase Typing Skills for Third Graders

Help me give my students keyboards for their iPads to practice their typing skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ortloff's classroom raised $306

This project is fully funded

My Project

In my third grade classroom, students have access to one-to-one devices. For grades Kindergarten through third, students use iPads. In 4th through 12th grade, students use Chromebooks.

My students need the necessary skills to be successful using their laptops in 4th grade and beyond.

My students are hard working, kind, smart children. They understand that using tools comes with responsibilities and are able to use them correctly. Most of my students come from poverty and do not have computers or devices at home that they can practice their typing on, so keyboards are essential to opening that door.
