Hello, 5th grade teachers here are currently using Typing.com, but are looking for alternatives. Does anyone have suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nice! Thank you. Yes, we have GAFE, and the teachers have had multiple PD sessions for Classroom. It just doesn't catch on with everyone, but there is some pressure to keep pushing it.

Hi, Sorry that this is a bit vague, and I'm not sure if this would even be the right place to ask, but I'm giving it a shot. I'm a Tech for a Middle School, and I've been presented the challenge of finding a way to get Language Teachers more involved in technology. So, yes, that is vague, and that is also why I am posting for help. I am not a certified teacher, nor have I ever been, but because I am the IT person, and technology was mentioned, my input is required. I guess the main point is we should have world language teachers (spanish, french, etc) going to the computer lab more often or maybe cracking open some chromebooks. But again, I'm at a loss. I know how to make stuff work, I don't know how to provide instructional tools. This is a two part question. 1) Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could possibly suggest? 2) How do you deal with these requests? I believe there is confusion that my role here is not only the IT person, but also an instructional coordinator. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, 242
