Ed Tech Digest Cool Tool Winner - QwertyTown 2.0

16/05/2018

In an age of students thumbing away on their smartphones, there are still plenty of desktop computers, laptops, and tablets—and thus there remains a type of literacy that’s just as vital as clearly pronouncing your words and speaking articulately for others to hear and understand, and it’s keyboarding. One of the best keyboarding programs on the market, QwertyTown recently released a new version with new activities, “Head2Head” matches, and a complete visual redesign. It offers detailed student reports, powerful teacher tools, and was created by educators. The web-based keyboarding app teaches typing, digital literacy, and online communication skills and is well presented and fun.
