Community Review for Dance Mat Typing
My Take
No customization, no data tracking and no assessment tools make this a great tool for keyboard beginners, not so much for advanced as there is no accountability.
How I Use It
Typing practice tool for elementary school students used in computer lab. Most appropriate for K-2, still attractive for 3-5. Friendly animation motivates learners to use as enrichment after tasks are complete and they have time left. Promoted for individual practice in school and at home.

Fun, engaging, and easy for young children to use and learn through!
I love this website so much and would continue to use it for any elementary school classroom, or for teaching students with disabilities.

I especially like that there is an option to have the keyboard on the screen, and it points out what key you selected, and whether it was correct or not. Super fun and would recommend to any teacher that does not already use it, or for people who need practice typing in general.
