Typing Agent is Effective Keyboard Training
Learning to type is necessary with our growing dependence on technology and computers, and it begins in school. Students need something that keeps their interest to learn most effectively. The more engaged students are the more they learn, but it is about more than just fun. Typing Agent is an intuitive typing training app that gives educators and school administrators the most innovative tools and management features possible. It is interesting and engaging while adding a unique social element and providing more for teachers and parents as well.
Typing Agent us a completely web-based program that is compatible with all major browsers but also features mobile tech support for iOS and Android devices. One of the aspects that sets it apart is that it is customizable in a way simpler programs are not. Not only can teachers target specific grade levels or individual students, they can set different keyboard settings for varying classes, receive customizable grading and all the stats they ever need, and get real-time data updates for enhanced student tracking. Using the app, administrators have the ability to customize a grading scale for both WPM (Word per Minute) and accuracy.
The program itself is simple for students to use, with hand placement and keyboard animations that visually demonstrate proper finger placement and keyboard technique. It lays out lessons in logical units with quick previews to view each lesson. Students can sign in from their school login, their keyboarding data stays with them every year so they can track progress, and the app automatically moves students to other classes and grade levels. Students can register themselves to make it easier on teachers, but they can also register blocks of students at a time. When students and teachers have registered through the app, administrators can upload their profiles and information up to thousands at a time.
Because there is no CD installation or download required, there is very little concern with regard to Internet security. Program updates are free and automatic. There is a social element designed to teach online social responsibility and awareness and an in-tutor message system where teachers can message students or an entire class. There are over thirty age-appropriate keyboarding games, exercises and interfaces, including multiplayer games. Teachers can guarantee more effective learning through complete customization of anything from length of tests to font sizes, vocabulary, and even the ability to block students so they need to type every letter correctly in order to complete a lesson. Outside of school, students can login from home to do assigned homework and practice skills, and there is a parent access portal where parents can track their student’s progress. It is easy to see how Typing Agent goes far beyond traditional programs develop a student’s typing abilities more fully.
