My Take

I find that the lessons are very well thought out, instructive and fun at the same time. The kids absolutely love the tool and enjoy learning typing in its fun, game oriented platform where they are constantly getting feedback by way of badges, stars etc. I was very please to have found it and highly recommend it to other teachers.

How I Use It

I have been using this tool to teach keyboarding primarily, but I also utilize the videos to do a whole class lesson on responsible digital citizenship and developing healthy habits while working with computers (i.e. posture, taking frequent breaks etc.) The keyboarding part is obviously individualized and hence, self-paced which makes it ideal for settings where students levels/needs vary.

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.
