Captain Keyboard Review
Hey all you space cadets! It is time to join forces with Captain
Keyboard in his efforts to conquer the galaxies! What? You
don't know how to type very well? Then report to the Cadet Training
School immediately! You can use your mouse to point and click through
the practice tutorials.
If you are just beginning to learn how to type, then you can find out
where to place your hands on the keyboard and which fingers are used to
type each letter, number and symbol. You can practice here all you
want until you are ready for a bigger challenge!
There are practice tutorials for letters, words and phrases. You
can even create custom word lists to help you become more familiar with
specific words or phrases. This would be especially useful if you
are studying a new course like science or geography and are finding lots
of unfamiliar words and phrases that you need to learn. The same
principle applies to learning new terminology for a new job! You
can also use Captain Keyboard as a spelling tutor so you are learning two
skills at the same time!
Once you are comfortable with the practice tutorials, it is time to
test your skills and increase your typing to warp speed as you travel through
space on your quest to conquer the galaxies! As you advance,
more keys are introduced to constantly challenge you to type harder words
and phrases. You'll have to type fast if you want to become a Keyboard
Master and save the universe from destruction!
