Keyboard Classroom

We just returned from the MassHope Homeschooler Convention in Worcester, MA where we received the warmest of welcomes.  While Keyboard Classroom was designed for children to learn typing in a home environment, we’ve always said that the key to long term success is the involvement of a parent.  Mom or Dad should act as a coach, insuring proper finger placement and practice at first, then encouraging success as the child advances.  HomeSchool parents do this anyway.

Carrie repeatedly demonstrated the software, using dozens of children who had either never typed before, or who had long ago given up on the more “popular” learn to type programs on the market.  Without exception, they took to Keyboard Classroom immediately, passing levels and having their fingers dance across the keyboard in astounding fashion.  Parents were amazed and we were thrilled with the response.

We’ll be ratcheting up our appearances at HomeSchool conventions around the country.  Keep an eye out.

As Keyboard Classroom spreads across the country and Canada, we’ve received dozens of requests from parents about making the program available to more than one child in the same household.  I’m proud to announce that version 2.0 is in final testing and will be available by the end of April.  Multiple user licenses will be available and we have eliminated the need to download the software (KC will be distributed on CD).  This will also allow for us to introduce a multi-user version for schools, making Keyboard Classroom suitable for placement on a local area network.  We’ve made some other improvements to our web site as well and hope you like them.  

Thanks to all of you who have told your friends and family about Keyboard Classroom.  We’re excited to be a part of the MassHOPE Homeschooler’s Convention April 24th and 25th in Worcester, MA.  If you’re around, please stop and say hello!
