For those seriously interested in raising pupil standards, we want to tell you about the brilliant cre8txt keyboard that is improving the writing and spelling skills of all the children that use it.
A bold claim, but one we are perfectly justified in making.
As a reviewer has already pointed out, this device captures the writing skills that so many young people have developed themselves using their mobile phones. It probably isn't going to surprise you to know that most young people can touch type at phenomenal speeds without even looking at their mobile phone.
So why don't we use this skill to develop language in our classrooms?
The word prediction software also includes an abbreviation translator that instantly converts any SMS slang like "cu" into "see you" in any Windows application. A wordbank is used to personalise the experience. We can even offer a software version designed for a USB Memory Stick, the users take the software and their personalised wordbank to any Windows computer without ever installing the application on a computer. A great value solution that allows the software to be taken home and used there. The software also supports assisted sentence construction, helping those that need it to finish writing a sentence. A great way of encouraging creative writing in a fun and supported environment.
More than one keyboard can be plugged into a computer at a time allowing for team writing or collaborative writing exercises, another brilliant way of motivating reluctant writers.
The keyboard is easily held comfortably in the hand or used supported by a desk or table, measuring just 10 cm long by 5 cm wide it is small enough for the tiniest of fingers and big enough for adult use.
