Google 'Keyboard Template'
What to do:
Download and print/laminate onto coloured paper a keyboard template of your choice.
You can then carry out a variety of activities with them, for example;
- Students could create keywords using letters that connect (next to another letter)
- Blank out the letters and get students to practice typing
- Students can create E-Safety posters using the templates
- Students can annotate the keyboard with keywords linking to each letter and number
- Students can replace the shortcut keys with a key term/date/key point- context dependent learning- to help them revise/learn- See here.
