My Take
My students love seeing their progress when they pass off their level and get faster with their typing. This program is great for practice and can be engaging if you tie it to some kind of class incentive.
How I Use It
I use this for students to work independently at school and at home. Students typically work on this program 10 minutes a day during centers and once a week in the computer lab for about 30 minutes.
