My Take
As a teaching tool, Typing.com is solid for beginners or students needing foundational typing skills. Its straightforward design and progress tracking are helpful for monitoring student improvement. However, the interface feels outdated, and the repetitive nature of the lessons could bore students who advance quickly. It’s best suited for introductory use rather than long-term typing practice.
How I Use It
Typing.com could be integrated into lessons by assigning students regular typing practice to build their speed and accuracy. The structured lessons and gamified elements, like earning badges, help maintain motivation and track progress. However, for advanced typists, the lack of variety in exercises might make the lessons less engaging.
