How BigKeys LX is used in other reception classes
Reception Teacher – a standard keyboard doesn’t compare even slightly
"I am very enthusiastic about computer based learning as I have seen how much the children enjoy it.
"I loved the BigKeys as soon as I saw it. I thought it was eye catching and inviting and knew the children would respond well to it. They really enjoyed using the BigKeys. Having the keyboard brought more enthusiasm to computer time and they were very excitied.
"The high point for me was watching the less confident children become happy to do some basic word processing and their confidence was developed as they could find individual keys without support.
"I normally let the children choose to work on the computer if they wish during Plan Do Review sessions which happens each day.
"Since BigKeys I also use the computer within literacy / numeracy sessions where I ask the children to work in pairs to help each other. Its wonderful how such a simple product can engender a team spirit.
"In computer time the children are supposed to:
- Develop fine motor skills – mouse control
- Understand how to use the keyboard – caps lock, full stops, spaces etc
- Understand the location of keys
- Most of all have FUN
"BigKeys made the above far more easier to achieve in an inviting way.
"BigKeys helped to increase concentration span and enthusiasm to use the computer. A standard keyboard doesn’t even slightly compare to BigKeys."
