Community reviews for TapTyping - Typing Trainer

Students still like using plug in keyboards or laptops for essays over the iPad keyboard, but this app was a great tool for getting them to think about their skills more.

Tap Typing includes the basic elements necessary to encourage students to move beyond typical hunt-and-peck mobile keyboarding to relevant, more efficient keyboarding habits. Challenges students to use keyboards on mobile devices more effectively. There is limited re-enforcement to help students use auto correct or auto fill options common to mobile devices which is a significant need for 21st century skills. There are entry level and more advanced practice exercises available. The scoreboard is a challenge motivator for some students and perhaps an excuse for discouragement or non-engagement for others. There is no reason to write off mobile keyboarding as inefficient and a poor choice for writing projects when apps like this are available.
