Because these days, learning to type is every bit as essential as learning to hold a pencil. ✏️⌨️

Dance Mat Typing

This week’s digital gem is a typing lesson game on KidzType.com that helps kids learn the right way to use a keyboard.

Typing is the foundation of almost everything kids will do on a computer. Writing, researching, coding, creating – it all starts with the keyboard. Help them – before the dreaded one-finger typing workaround sets in. 😄

What makes this game special is that it doesn’t jump straight to speed. It teaches proper finger placement – starts from the home row and gradually introduces all the keys.

In truth, this game is not madly entertaining but, encourage kids to stick with it. The graphics are colorful, the lessons are quick, and every correct key press brings little angels to life on the screen – turning practice into a mini mission. Kids can challenge themselves: better accuracy, faster words per minute, and more angels brought to life.

Add this gem to their Aneta homerooms and start counting the days you have left to beat them in a typing showdown. Sorry… not sorry.

This is screen time you can truly feel good about. 😁
