nostalgic and great practice

The website offers different lesson difficulties starting at easy and then progressing to more and more difficult. This is beneficial when teaching someone how to type the correct way from scratch. There are also different modes that just have plain typing sentences for those who already know how to type properly. There is something for everyone.

What I Like: Engagement: It’s a fun way to combine typing practice with music, making a typically monotonous task more enjoyable for students. The use of popular songs keeps students motivated and can cater to different musical tastes. Competitive Element: The built-in scoring and competitive aspect can drive students to improve their skills, encouraging repetition and improvement. What I Didn’t Like: Distraction Risk: While music adds fun, it can also become a distraction, especially if students focus more on the song than their typing. Limited Depth for Advanced Typists: It’s great for beginners or intermediate typists, but it might not provide enough challenge for students who already type at high speeds. Overall: LyricType is a creative way to improve typing skills, but balancing fun and focus would be key in a classroom setting. lyricstype.com

There were many varied curricula to choose from, and the lessons were fun and engaging. The difficulty increases as you go, but you can customize if your students are ahead/behind the presets. The app also gives statistics, so if your class is competitive, you can really keep them interested by creating a "fastest", "most lessons completed", or "most improved" leaderboard. Teachers told me that in other classes, when students were done with their work, they'd start doing Typing Club! Instead of picking up their phones, students were choosing Typing Club. I feel like that really says it all.
