In the classroom, each student can take their first steps to touch-type on this app at different times as it allows multiple users each to have a discrete profile on the same device. Young students who take the time to practice with this app will have the reward of a shallower learning curve and the advantages of being able to type quickly and with little cognitive load. Old habits die hard, and a person's typing speed will reduce as they begin to unlearn their poor technique and learn a better one. Learning to touch type for those who have long worked without the skill is difficult. Older students can jump straight on to the standard lessons. The children's lessons are great and they can move on to the standard ones later. In fact, watching the screen acts as a good reminder that the touch typist does not look at his/her fingers.Īnimal Typing is suitable for anybody who is old enough to commit to learning a new and useful skill. Users don't need to rely on their literacy skills as the app tells them what to type.
The racing animals shown in cartoon form on the screen set a good pace and reflect the user's speed and accuracy. Where the user's fingers should be placed and which ones are used for which keys, are shown on the screen. Typing Animals offers the chance for children to develop an efficient typing technique before their slow, bad habits are too deeply embedded. Watching someone who can touch type is a revelation for those of us still pecking away at the keyboard using just a few fingers and a sloppy technique. Most people have picked up their typing method without tuition or thought, but, with a little effort, their efficiency could grow.
Typing is a skill that is used daily by many people, both for work and personal reasons. There are even extra lessons for bringing in the numeric row of the keyboard and special symbols. The lessons are available in multiple languages and there are two sets - one for young students and one for older students. Whatever keyboard users favour, (DVORAK and AZERTY, for example) this app can match their preferences. It does so in a child-friendly package with plenty of options.
In this case, that skill is touch typing.Īnimal Typing provides effective tuition and useful practice in learning to touch type. Most educational apps fit into just a few categories, so it is great to see an app address a skill that is not well served. In this review of Animal Typing, you will see how well the app meets its aims of increasing the keyboard-based productivity of those who stick with its lessons.
