My Take

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.

How I Use It

There is a form to signup as a home school, teacher, school, or district and this is beneficial for organizing custom school URLs, purchasing pro edition or license keys, and more that can help instructors organize their classrooms and students to measure their progress and engagement. In my teaching I would sign up as a teacher and have students sign up with a class code to keep track and have students perform lessons both in class and at home to familiarize themselves with typing on various devices.
