Monica Burns assignment 12a

I found a technology that Crayola is coming out with, to help beginning students with learning to type and use the mouse effectively. Crayola has made a keyboard and mouse designed with the beginning technology learner. The keyboard is colorful and has bigger keys to help the student learn to type easier, while at the same time keeping their attention of the lesson because of its colorful design. They are also creating a mouse to go along with the keyboard that has a bigger design with bigger right and left click buttons to make it more user friendly, an encourage greater movement control. It is also made to catch the users attention because of its light up mechanisms and globe of water at the end with an island inside. This type of technology will encourage the students to want to use the computers due to the "fun" learning environment that is created by the colorfulness of the technology.
