Module 3 - Just Do It - offers additional vocabulary to build ‘muscle memory’.

Trevor Boland, Assistive Technology Officer: Typing skills are a life long skill but unfortunately they have become lost in terms of it's importance, to an extent, in this digital world we are in. Refocusing the attention on digital fundaments will add to the increased digital skills, digital literacy and digtial well being - the ability to be create written content is something we all can and will do so why not have a strong foundation in typing skills to set up your potentail for success. Take the time to invest in this skill and it will pay off in vast amounts in all aspects of your life.
Shawn Miller, Project manager: It is a fantactic program. Step by step, easy to learn. All you have to do is put in the time. I am 48, and never had any experience with touch typing, now after only 5 months, I am at 35-40 words per minute. My goal is to be at 50 by the end of the next month. Somtimes you can teach an old dog new tricks. Additionally, the staff responses to any issue's that I have had has been quick and sorted within days. I never felt any kind of runaround, they generally listened AND took action to responded promptly to any of my concerns. Fantastic product and fantastic company!
Penelope Owen, CEO Children's day nursery but also grandparent: It has been both educational and fun. It is very easy to follow and gives a child a great sense of accomplishment. They can easily see their progress and it encourages them to strive for more.

June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
Montserrat Palau, Librarian: It is an excellent resource, easy to use, connected anywhere, anytime. For our IB school, it is very complete in multilingual content, so it introduces students to the concept of multiple literacies, enriching their academic journey and multilingualism. In addition, it is very important to our school to promote academic honesty and integrity, so Britannica offers the citation of any information.
Matt, Primary Pastoral Lead / Year 1 teacher: a great resource in one place
