Whether we agree with it or not, handwriting print and cursive will soon be replaced with only keyboarding. Students will email, text and blog their homework and classwork. If you are an adult, think about how often you write a handwritten note at work. Even now, every month I see more and more students carrying Kindles and iPads instead of books. With that knowledge, keyboarding can start as early as preschool. Here are some free, online games to help students get faster and faster on the keyboard.
