Over the past year, we’ve met with teachers, tech coaches and district leaders from Texas to Oregon. Some were choosing a program for next year. Others were just exploring.
Whatever brought them to the call, the same questions kept coming up. Here are our answers.
How Much Class Time Does Keyboarding Need?
Two 10-15 minute sessions a week is enough to see results. Short, regular practice works better than one long session, and it’s easy on screen time.
Does It Work With Clever, ClassLink or Google Sign-In?
Yes. TypeTastic School Edition works with all three, and students land in the content for their grade automatically when they log in. If you use the free activities on TypeTastic.com, students don’t need to log in at all.
Can I Adjust It for Students Who Struggle?
Yes. Students are placed by grade automatically, and teachers can adjust settings and customize the curriculum.
Can I See How My Students Are Doing?
In School Edition, yes. The teacher dashboard shows lesson completion, speed, accuracy and time spent, so you can spot who needs help. District admins also get usage and growth reports across schools and grades.
Is It Aligned With My State’s Standards?
Our Digital Citizenship Curriculum has alignment documents for CSTA, ISTE and a growing list of states. For keyboarding, the usual reference is the Common Core writing standards, and we map those too. You’ll find all of them at taitolearning.com/standards.
What About Student Privacy?
Students use the free activities on TypeTastic.com without logging in, so no data privacy agreement is needed. For School Edition, we review and sign your school or district’s agreement, and many of our signed agreements are in the SDPC Resource Registry. Read more from our Trust Center. Questions go to privacy@taitolearning.com.
And TypeTastic is always ad-free, whichever version you use.
Is There More Than Keyboarding?
Yes. The K-5 Digital Citizenship Curriculum covers digital citizenship, digital literacy, computer science and AI literacy through story-driven adventures. Each lesson comes with a lesson plan, conversation questions, offline activities and printables, so it’s screen-time friendly too. You can try it with your class.
Have a Question That Isn’t Here?
That’s what a call with us is for. We start by asking what you’re doing now, not with a pitch. Then we show only the parts that fit, whether that’s keyboarding, the Digital Citizenship Curriculum or the teacher dashboard. You’ll meet Anssi the VP of Business Development and/or Ruth, our Customer Success Manager.
We set aside 30 minutes, but many calls take less.
Bring a colleague if you like. Whether you already use TypeTastic or not, the time is yours.
