10 helpful keys when grading on a laptop
Dale Basler January 10th, 2009
It appears that more and more people are buying laptops over desktop PCs. With feature-rich laptops selling for less than $500, I can see why. But there is one thing my laptop is missing- the numeric keypad. I didn’t even miss it until I started enter grades one afternoon.
Trying to enter grades on a laptop is a nightmare and it really slows you down. But never fear, there’s always a gadget to the rescue.
Pick up one of these keypads to give your fingers the extra space they need.
Go Cheap (Numeric Keypad with Retractable Cable – $18.99)
Go Wireless (Logitech Cordless Number Pad – $32.30)
Go Crazy (USB Wireless Keypad with Track Ball – $37.00)
You’ve just addressed my main complaint about laptops–Thanks!
