My Take
This is a great site for students to learn and practice keyboarding skills. Keyboarding is an important skill for students in the future. Keyboarding is listed as a necessary skill in the Common Core to meet standards. I know there are many methods students could use to input information, but keyboarding is specifically listed in the Common Core.
How I Use It
My kids practice each week, completing 3-4 lessons each week. Students are able to progress at their ability and pace. Students like to see their progress through the levels. I also like the opportunity to monitor their progress and WPM. I can also give periodic typing tests to mark progress.

Simple, visually appealing, and motivational!
This resource seems great for daily/weekly typing lessons and motivating students to keep learning. With the simple yet colorful visuals, it's noticeably appealing for youth learners. I enjoy the "GOOD JOB!" at the end of each module, and the statistics for accuracy and words per minute with scores are great for educators to understand their learners' performance. What I find very helpful especially for learners are the badges that can help motivate them to keep practicing their typing and be rewarded for their efforts. Not a fan of any advertisements on the free version especially when learners may be young. Accessibility wise I'm glad that there's plenty of languages for the overall website and captions so this program can cater to a global audience with over 600 lessons.

As someone who never learned to type properly in elementary school, I would absolutely recommend this website! I enjoy its step by step approach to introduce the different keys and its use of self managed and timed activities to teach you
I love the approach it takes to typing by teaching one key at a time. My only problem with it was that its introduction video/lesson were hard to start because the ads kept blocking them. I had to skip the intro video to actually start, but after that it was smooth sailing

Definitely a simple and yet motivating way for anyone either starting to type or those looking to increase their typing speed. Motivates with its feedback and rewards with golden stickers and advancement of levels.
As a teaching tool it is visually appealing, while still being interactive. It's a tool that anyone can benefit from to improve their typing or just starting out. You can see real time feedback and stats on how you are doing along the courses all while rewarding you with points and stickers to keep you motivated and going.
