p.s. click here to see our typing page at Chapin which we are very proud of
... we emphasize typing in all four grades (4-7) and incorporate Typing
Pal into overall strategy which also includes our own home-made but VERY EFFECTIVE typing test ... http://gatornet.chapin.edu/typing.html
Typing Pal Update (July 2004)
As CIO of The Chapin School, I discovered Typing Pal in the Summer of
2003 and am in love with this software which provides individual
students with accounts that are based on-line. The advantages of their
being able to do their typing practice from any web based machine are
huge. I am not a fan of wasting or consuming much time in our computer
classes with having the students practice typing. Most of our classes
meet just once a week. We get quality tech help from the Typing Pal
people and they sell us cross platform CDs that we can distribute and use with our
students who have limited, buggy or no web access from home. Yes, I
would like to see more depth to the exercises and more exercises, since some of our
students finish all of them. But that is a minor area for improvement
compared to the outstanding (and I believe unique) marketing niche that
Typing Pal has in terms of being a web based typing program. Our students in grades 4-7 can work on their own as part
of their weekly computer homework (30 minutes per week) using any school based computer or any home computer. This is a huge advantage and I know of no other
typing software company that offers anything like this! Parents by the way, rave about their children's usage of this program! And from a consumer point of view, the sales people at the typing pal company (demarque.com) have
been first rate in responding to our needs and are a pleasure to do business with!
