"Teachers love this fun, exciting and creative keyboarding method for grades 3-6. Adapted for the elementary school computer lab, Pre-Keys 3 allows the teacher to control the pacing of the lessons. The live teacher model is so much more effective than CGI graphics!"

"This method works best in classrooms and labs equipped with an LCD computer projector so that teachers are both modeling and monitoring student performance. Recommended software is the Microsoft Office Suite, with Word, PowerPoint and Excel."

"While most keyboarding activities are based on Behaviorist theory, Pre-Keys 3 lessons follow Constructivist philosophy, allowing students to be more creative. Get the kids away from software that prevents them from learning from their mistakes!"

New features of version 3 include:

Developmental Keyboarding:

Benefits:

Includes new PowerPoint activities for teachers who present these lessons to an entire lab. In addition, these activities work well on a single computer in a classroom learning center. Also new is a PowerPoint template for the Pre-Test.

Requires Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
