Chromebook Keyboard Concerns for Kindergarten

My oldest daughter is in Kindergarten this 12 months. Not too long ago, she began utilizing a Chromebook in her classroom. The Chromebook that she makes use of at college is totally different from the one we’ve at residence. The distinction is minor for many of us, nevertheless it’s enormous for teenagers her age. That distinction is discovered on the keyboard. 

The Chromebook that my daughter makes use of at college has the entire letters showing as capitalized letters on the keyboard. For instance, the letter a seems as “A” and the letter q seems as “Q.” That’s achieved by the usage of a Chromebook keyboard overlay. The Chromebook that we’ve at residence does not have an overlay and subsequently the keys seem in all lowercase letters. 

The difficulty with a keyboard that seems in all lowercase letters is that the letters “a” and “q” do not seem to a Kindergarten scholar in the identical approach that they do when handwritten. I solely seen this final week when my daughter needed to follow typing her full title which incorporates the letters a and q. She initially struggled as a result of she could not discover the a and q keys till I confirmed them to her. At which level she argued with me that “a” wasn’t “written the fitting approach.” 

My daughter now acknowledges all “a” as an a on the keyboard, nevertheless it wasn’t with out a little bit of wrestle.
