Keyboard Templates

Resources:

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.

Variations:

Print a keyboard template in another language? Get students to write the letters next to the keys?
