Google launches this incredible online course totally free, so you can learn everything about Morse Code for Gboard, customizing your keyboard. In this way you will be able to communicate with this type of universal code whose main function is to be used in survival and prepper cases.
Every year, on April 27, we celebrate Morse Code Day, invented and patented in 1843 by Samuel Morse, a great American inventor also known for creating the electromagnetic telegraph with the help of his colleague Alfred Vail.
Morse Code deals with a specific type of letters, numbers and punctuation marks through sounds and rays of light. It should be noted that the alphabet of this code is made up of stripes and dots. And as we mentioned at the top, this was used through light, sound or electromagnetic signals.
Why learn Morse Code?
Mainly for historical value, it is practical and could be used in case of emergency or situations where there was no digital communication, it also improves cognition connections, as it improves the speed and accuracy of reading and writing, but above all it can be fun and an interesting way to learn from your Android Gboard.
This course is offered and directed by Google, is hosted on the Learngratis.es platform and is aimed at the general public who is interested in knowing and learning everything about Morse Code.
It is not necessary to have prior knowledge to learn, it has a flexible modality, so you can learn at your own pace, the course has videos, activities and experiments that will make it a more dynamic and easier way to learn.
Access to the course is completely free and you can obtain a certificate with curricular value
