Purpose: To support the feet when the chair must remain high.
Concern: The students cannot keep elbows level with the keyboard and keep their feet supported at the same time. It is common to sit on the edge of the chair when your feet cannot reach the floor making it impossible to use the chair's backrest.
Solution: Clif Mosher, a computer teacher at Mark Twain Elementary School used wood blocks as footrests for his students. See Acknowledgments.
Discarded three-ring 3-inch binders filled with recycled paper. The thickness of the binder depends on what height is needed.
Old discarded telephone books are good building blocks. They need to be wrapped with heavy duty tape to be stable.
