My Project

Our elementary school just reinstated a computer lab and these kids are eager to advance their typing skills! They’re learning so much about their Chromebooks, the internet, the Google ecosystem, and so much more. They’re so receptive to it all.

They’ve never seen a typewriter and it would be amazing to have each of them try it out.

Technology is a big part of our lives, but the history behind it is important too.

Having a typewriter in the classroom is an amazing way for each child to learn just how much typing has advanced over the years. We’ll use the typewriter keyboard as an incentive for using best typing practices.
