Hi to all---
We are investigating the purchase of a web-based keyboarding
curriculum called Custom Typing.
The intent is to have a keyboarding program available that children
would be able to work through both at school and at home.
The cost seems reasonable---$400 for 100 users for one year with a
renewal charge of $220.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who is using this program or
another type of program.
What do you like? Quality of the program? Difficultly with =
administration?
Thank you very much!
