Type to Learn Software to Teach Keyboarding Skills

Type to learn software to teach keyboard skills does exactly what the name says. This software is designed for students to develop their keyboarding skills. Keyboarding skills are important and must be learned at an early age, especially in todays technology filled world. These programs allow for students to learn at their own pace and build on their skills. The students play various games to learn where the keys are and which fingers they should use to tap them.

Some popular type to learn softwares are...

  • Type to Learn by Sunburst
  • Typing Agent
  • Typing Pal

Typing Pal is something that I heard about during my student teaching placement. This was a center area for the students to practice their keyboarding skills. It was so funny to watch them compete and try to beat eachothers time, all while having fun improving their keyboarding. Check out the video below to see the introduction to typing pal and see a little more of what it is about.
