Keyboard Classroom

We asked for your feedback and we got it!  Our email has been flooded recently with suggestions on how to spread the word about Keyboard Classroom and the remarkable results it’s having on children across the country.  We’re happy to announce some new products and improvements that should make things easier for families to incorporate Keyboard Classroom into their home learning environments.

1.     A new 3-user version is available for those families with more than two young typists, but who can’t afford the more expensive 5-site license.

2.     Finger Guides can now be purchased separately for just $15.00 each.

3.     And we’re proud to introduce a free demo trial version of Keyboard Classroom.  Just click on the button in the upper right corner of the home page to download.

Keep those email suggestions coming!

When we say that Keyboard Classroom is the fastest growing learn-to-type program in America, we’re not kidding.  The learning disabled community has embraced us and most recently, we’ve seen a tremendous surge in interest from parents who home school their children.

Home School families are among the most demanding because they require curricula that can capture a child’s attention, provide a benefit across a variety of subject areas, and do so at an affordable price.  As we’ve traveled to Home School conventions , we hear the same comments over and over again.  ”There are so many great software products on the market today,” said one mother of four.  ”But the software doesn’t do much good if they can’t type!”

Parents have embraced Keyboard Classroom’s back-to-basics approach to learning to type.  They like that the program is structured, guaranteeing that a child must master a skill before moving on to something more complicated.  And they marvel at the simplicity but amazing functionality of our unique finger guides, that keep a child’s hands in proper touch typing position.

Watch for us in the next year as we hope to expand our presence at Home School gatherings across the country.

Today, we launched our first update to Keyboard Classroom since we introduced the software in late 2008.  We’ve eliminated the need to download it and will now distribute the program on CD.  This allows us to respond to a number of your inquiries regarding the need to have more than one child use it.  Single, dual, five, and twenty-five user licenses are now available.

Keyboard Classroom automatically customizes itself for each student. If you have more than one child who wants to use the program, they each must have their own ID, so a multiple user license is necessary. The 25 site license can be installed on a local area network (LAN) for use in schools.

It’s been a while since my last post but forgive us as we are trying to keep with the dramatic growth since we launched in November.  Sales continue to double each month as parents and educators across the country receive word of Keyboard Classroom.  Our web site traffic has increased by an average of 3000% each month!  We’ve been especially warmed by the reception given to us by a number of private tutors who are using the software with their individual students.  Even more exciting for these educators is the realization that Keyboard Classroom is effective for children with and without learning disabilities.

To that end, we’ve received requests for multi-user licenses available via CD.  I’m happy to report that we are within weeks of launching that product and will let you all know when it is available. Check back soon.
