Teikyo University Elementary School
Teikyo University Elementary School, located in Tama City, Tokyo, upholds the educational philosophy of "de-equalization and development of sparkling individuality." Viewing tablet devices as stationery just like pencils and notebooks, the school equipped iPad devices with the Logitech Rugged Combo 3 Protective Keyboard Case and Crayon digital pencil.
The results: not a single cracked screen or breakage has occurred with the Rugged Combo 3 equipped, even after three-plus years of daily use. Typing speed among 6th graders reached 145.3 words per minute — 1.8 times faster than what a typical office job requires. As teacher Kenya Hirasawa noted, "Students who are not good at speaking in front of others... can now express their opinions smoothly and have lively interactions with classmates by using a keyboard."
