RE: computerdisc-l: Keyboarding skins

["Ward, Kristy" <kward@lafayette.k12.ms.us>]

Title: Message

I use something called "The TOUCH-KEY GUIDE". It is not a "skin" in that, it does not fit over your actual keyboard. Instead, it is a plastic "vision shield" that anchors under your keyboard and blocks the view of the keys. We bought these after purchasing very expensive "skins" only to have our keyboards replaced the next year with different keys that would not fit the skins... THe shields fit over any and every keyboard. My students hate not seeing their fingers, but I never have to hear "I can't type because of this thing on the keyboard." The shields do not actually touch the student or the keyboard.

 

If you are interested, you can see them http://www.keyboardteacher.net/ . We bought the plastic for $9.50 each (cardboard is available $8.00 each) when we ordered 2 years ago and have been worth EVERY PENNY!

Do you have any information about keyboard covers or skins? I use some from Hoolean but they no longer make them. Please send information to everyone on the listserv by clicking Reply to All.
