The primary keyboard is your basic alpha QWERTY keyboard with added punctuation.  For most purposes, this is the only keyboard you will need.One thing to know about the keyboard is that there are "hidden" keys on it.  For instance, if you are typing a contraction it would be slightly annoying (and take a little more time) to switch keyboards to get the apostrophe.  Well, the apostrophe is actually on this keyboard, "hidden" under the "!" . If you touch and hold the "!" for a half second, you will get a pop-up showing the apostrophe and placing it in your text.

So what other keys are "hidden" on the keyboard?

• Quotation marks: under the "?"
• Accents for all vowels: under the respective vowel, (especially useful if you are a foreign language teacher)
• Other keys: "c", "l", "n", "s", "y", "z"
