Education Games that Engage and Entertain

Challenge:

Develop and modernize the Qwerty Town online keyboarding program to provide a safe, teacher-controlled environment where elementary and middle school students can learn essential keyboarding skills.

Solution:

ATM took the initial program, brought to life by two educators. Qwerty Town was enhanced to include work on gaming features such as social rewards (QwertyCoins, Medals) and customizable avatars, as well as communication features including Qmail and Chatterbox messaging systems. Utilized in a school environment, QwertyTown gives teachers the power to customize, oversee, and guide their students' experiences in a safe, fun, and meaningful way. The app has been recognized as the 2014 Ed Tech Digest ‘Cool Tool’ Award and eSchool Media’s 2012-2013 Reader’s Choice Award.
