Typesy.com has a 3 star editor\u2019s rating, and does not yet have a community rating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why many school districts choose Typing.com and Nitrotype.com for their distance learning instruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-941 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Commonsense_blog.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"561\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Commonsense_blog.jpeg 561w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Commonsense_blog-300x168.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Customization is Key<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customization for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IEPs and 504 Plans is vital in today\u2019s classroom to meet curriculum standards. The individual student customization features are often highlighted as one of the qualities teachers like most about Typing.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typing.com\u2019s Teacher Portal allows complete control over individual student settings and lesson accessibility; however, all student data still automatically integrates, making grading seamless at the administrative level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typesy.com allows for the creation of different typing passages, but adjusts the courses automatically based on the student\u2019s initial typing assessment. Therefore, Typesy.com is helpful for more hands-off distance-learning atmospheres, and Typing.com offers greater customization capabilities. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Typing.com and Typesy Cost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between Typing.com and Typesy is the cost to use their products. Although there is a one-time payment option to remove age-appropriate ads, the free version of Typing.com gives full access to all curriculum lessons, games, and teacher tools such as the full line of reporting features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typesy.com offers no-ads and a free, 7-day trial, but the subscription to their product starts at $9\/mo to continue learning through their platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Typing.com vs. Typing Agent<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-943 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Typing-com-typing-agent-comparison-chart.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Typing-com-typing-agent-comparison-chart.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Typing-com-typing-agent-comparison-chart-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Typing-com-typing-agent-comparison-chart-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Typing-com-typing-agent-comparison-chart-600x450.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see from the comparison chart, an important differentiator between Typing.com and Typing Agent is the visual design graphics. Many reviews on Commonsense.org claim that Typing Agent\u2019s text size and screen usage are not optimal. If you need to customize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for IEPs and 504 Plans, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accommodating students with visual impairments could prove difficult. In contrast, Typing.com lessons are WCAG 2.0 compliant and offer dictation to accommodate special needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typing.com\u2019s modern graphics and exciting games encourage students to pursue their typing goals daily, taking advantage of full-screen use and maximizing readability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another difference between these two programs is the number of products they offer. Typing Agent offers separate curriculums for preschoolers, elementary, and beyond, while Typing.com\u2019s curriculum can be customized by interest and ability to suit different ages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-agent-vs-typing-com.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-agent-vs-typing-com.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-agent-vs-typing-com-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-agent-vs-typing-com-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Typing.com and Typing Agent Cost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are important differences between Typing.com and Typing Agent when you sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typing Agent gives a free, 3-day trial to teachers as long as they provide their school information. They do not offer accounts for individual users or students without a teacher,\u00a0 unless they select a homeschool account. Homeschool accounts cost $29.95\/year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While TypingAgent is intended strictly for school use, Typing.com has no account type restrictions. Anyone can get access to all lessons and administrative tools just by signing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Because\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"http:\/\/typing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"http:\/\/Typing.com\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Typing.com<\/a>\u00a0is ads supported, you get every feature for free. If you\u2019d like to remove the age-appropriate screen ads, you can for an annual purchase price of as low as $1.14 per student for school accounts or $7.99 for use at home.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Typing.com and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-947 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1168\" height=\"935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis-1024x820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.typing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/typing-vs-mavis-600x480.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1168px) 100vw, 1168px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the oldest typing programs available today, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing has been around since 1987. Let\u2019s see how it stacks up against Typing.com, released over 20 years later in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When looking at the two, they seem similar. But, there are some key features to consider. The most significant differences are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curriculum Customization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry Approval<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to access the programs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s review each point.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Customize Your Typing Curriculum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over 250 lessons, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing starts easy and advances as students\u2019 skills improve. Though they allow teachers\u2014or parents\u2014to enable features like background music to go along with lessons or select passages from well-known literature, it does not allow the creation of entirely new lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to customization, Typing.com sets itself apart. Teachers can create custom lessons and set unique writing prompts. This allows educators to have the freedom to change and update content depending on what interests their students!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Standards Alignment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key reasons many districts and educators choose Typing.com is industry-wide approval and alignment with state and national standards to the Common Core ELA. Recently certified with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISTE\u2019s Seal of Alignment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Typing.com is also highly rated on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsense.org\/education\/website\/typingcom\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commonsense.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing does not have any reviews on Commonsense.org. Priding themselves on being a \u201csystem for teaching you how to type without looking at the keyboard,\u201d their primary focus is on proper hand position. Curriculum alignment with accepted educational standards does not seem to feature prominently within the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Program Accessibility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another difference between these two programs is accessibility. While Typing.com is available on any computer with an internet connection, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is a desktop application. This can be great for in-person teaching, but for students at home or looking for some extra practice outside of the classroom, they will need to download the program onto home computers\u2014an extra step that could prove problematic for younger students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a fully online typing program, you can track progress from any location. You can combine how they are advancing overall, whether at home or in class. You can set daily typing goals that track whenever they log in, control access, and enjoy the freedom to make typing fun for your students!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great feature that comes with Typing.com is easy integration with most rostering systems. Users of Microsoft Classroom, Clever, Classlink, or Google Classroom can easily sync class data\u2014making set up and reporting a breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Typing.com and Mavis Beacon Cost<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing can be a significant factor when it comes down to choosing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typing.com is free forever. Though there is an ad-free premium version, all features are accessible, even on the free version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing costs $29.99 for a lifetime license in order to access any features. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Still have questions?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you still have questions about how Typing.com can benefit your children or students, check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/typingcom.helpscoutdocs.com\/article\/14-why-choose-typing-com\"><b>this article<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that explains Typing.com in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want to choose the best products for our children and students.
