Community Review for Dance Mat Typing
My Take
I think it is a great practice tool. It does not teach students new techniques, but it does allow for practice at their own speen and level of those skills that have been taught. It can be accessed quickly and is effective even when there is only a short period of time available.
How I Use It
I teach each keystroke at the whole class level and then students participate briefly in guided practice. This program is for those who students who are ready to practice at an independent level, and as a warm-up beforeteaching the next lesson.

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.
