Pennant Hills Public School - Year 6 student achieves 103 words per minute with Typequick

Amin’s Journey At the beginning of Year 3, I didn’t really like Typequick, but then I saw that I was really behind in the lessons and that everyone was in front of me. Of course, I didn’t like to be behind, so after that I went to the computer lab every day to practise my typing. Then, in Years 4 and 5, I had competition. Other people also wanted to go in and type and soon I had about five other people trying to win the trophy just like me. However, of course, none of us was able to win the trophy at that time. That was when I had my eyes set on that trophy. I set it as my goal throughout Year 6 and about twice a week I’d go in and type. Soon I had seen the big improvement that I had made – 54 WPM! I had reached a speed of 103 WPM. I was very proud of myself.

Advantages of Typequick keyboarding software for schools

Typequick for Students is a fun, interactive typing software for schools that is suitable for children from 6 years old. Students love the rich animation and characterisation in this learn to type software product. They are drawn into "Kewala's Amazing Keyboard Adventure" and forget they are learning how to touch type as they help the loveable cartoon character on his adventure in the Kingdom of Eaz.

Typequick Professional is the learn to type software recommended for older students. This self-paced, interactive typing software for schools is suitable for all levels of keyboarding skills, from beginners to accomplished typists. High school, TAFE, college and university students have to type enormous numbers of assignments. Two finger typing is a tedious process that distracts students from their other studies. With Typequick Professional learn to type software, students can realistically double or even triple their typing speed and accuracy within 10 days.

Typequick Academic Licences are available for schools, colleges, universities, community colleges and Not for Profit organisations.

Online Subscriptions

Typequick is now available as an online course via the Internet allowing educational institutions to use the software without any installation at all. Students just need to be able to access the Typequick courseware site and use a logon provided by the teacher. Teachers use the same website for administration, creating student logins (an import mechanism is available for batches of students), looking at class results, etc. Students can also use the courseware with their logins at home or anywhere they have access to an Internet capable computer.

Concurrent User Licence for LAN or WAN

Typequick's concurrent licensing solutions are designed to offer multiple students access to the program. In-built reporting and assessment tools enable an accurate snapshot of the student's progress at any time. Powerful administration and reporting tools for teachers and administrators store and provide information on students using the courseware, which lessons they have accessed, their level of speed and accuracy per lesson and date it was last completed.

Every student that can access the fileserver where Typequick is installed can use the Typequick course. This licence limits the number of concurrent users (the number of students using the course at any one time).

Example: Sample State High school installed a 10 concurrent user network licence on their school network. This means a group of 10 students can use the course at 10am and another group of 10 students can use the course at 11am. The software will store data for any number of students.

A 10 concurrent user network licence is our basic School Network licence. You are able to add to the number of concurrent users.

Stand-alone computers

A Typequick licence is installed on multiple stand-alone computers. The student must login to the same computer each time to continue their training as their records are stored on the computer.
