An entertaining and free place to get students started with formal typing.

My Take

Can be entertaining but some students will lose interest. I would recommend it as one of a few typing practice sites in your toolbox. Should be noted that like most keyboarding practice tools like this, teacher observation and reinforcement are critical for success. If the students are doing it independently or at home, integrity on the student's part is required (i.e. they could move through the whole program hunting and pecking - never really developing their skills).
