Good beginner site for typing practice
I think it is a very user-friendly site and makes it very easy for beginners to follow. It has different activities and allows both students and the educators to monitor the progress of each individual and see ways in which they can improve. However, there are limited resources for unpaid access, and ads can be a bit distracting to overall learning. They also have long, unskippable videos which can bore students with shorter attention spans and make it a less engaging site. Paid membership definitely has more features, and would be almost perfect to those willing to pay the fee.

Good For Quick Typing Help
Overall, my favorite part of this website is the user interface as it is very beginner-friendly. As someone who already knows how to type, I think that it can still be useful to get better, and for someone who does not know how it, it can help them learn. One critique I would have is to have more assessments throughout the course, as it can help students learn better.

Straight to the Point
I think that this website is a useful teaching tool in preparing students for higher education settings and getting familiar with the layout of a keyboard. I like how straightforward this website is as it limits the distractions for students and makes it to focus on the task.
