My superintendent wants me to switch from desktops to laptops. Can keyboarding be taught on laptops just as well as on desktops?

Danbe34 We start teaching it very early and with Common Core on its way, it's even more important. 3rd gr students will need to be able to type a one page response in one sitting to a state assessment question. 4th gr, 2 pages and 5th gr, 3 pages. At my school computer class is considered a core subject now.
