IN THIS animated update of Type to Learn, your students embark on time-travel missions that teach keyboarding skills. Built on a curriculum of sequential, skills-building instruction, this program is a fun and effective way to turn students into proficient typists while learning social studies. The 25 lessons incorporate demonstrations, reviews, practice, and tests called Missions. Students continually receive reports on their Mission progress and teachers can customize tests with a To Do List that includes:

Home Position: a reminder on proper keyboarding ergonomics and a home row review.
Checkpoint: previously learned lessons are reviewed.
Learning New Keys: animated 3D hands introduce students to new keystrokes.
Exercises: direct keyboarding instruction with automatic review and plenty of practice!
Final Challenge: ensure skills are mastered with a test after each lesson.

Shockwave Demo (Warning: once you hit the play button, the demonstration plays until the end. If you'd like to stop it earlier, please hit the refresh button on your browser.)

On each student's Mission To Do List, teachers can add 5 supporting activities, which correspond to their performance level. Type to Learn 3 keeps these speed and accuracy challenges fun and exciting with:

Key Figures: in this speed building exercise, students type in a time-tunnel vortex and are transported to meet 50 historic people.
Windshield Typers: improves left and right coordination by typing the sands of time off the windshield of your time travel machine.
Typeline: use the numbers and the shift keys to straighten out events on a mixed-up timeline.
Warpspeed: practice speed and accuracy skills by typing progressively longer passages.
Dictation Station: from letter keys to words and extended passages, students type exactly what they hear.
Notepad: apply skills creating documents with this mini word processor.
