From Jessica Richards at TopTenReviews: The world of Mickey Mouse and his friends cleverly disguises some serious, structured instruction in this kids typing software. As Mary Poppins might say, this keyboard application for kids exemplifies how "a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down."
Why this matters: Keyboarding skills are a serious business for today's digital learners, with the vast majority of kids having computers either at home or at school, or both. Teaching kids how to type early gives them a head start on digital learning and gives them confidence when using their devices and computers for schoolwork.
