THE RATIONALE

This resource works on so many great technology skills. While students may be familiar with using snap cubes (or counting blocks or whatever you call them) to make designs, it brings the skill to a whole new level to do it digitally.

This activity asks students to click and drag many times for each letter and number. This is a great way to master the skill. It also has a simple typing activity that will help students find all of the number keys independently.
