When I was at school Mavis Beacon was installed onto the computers and we used to have a lot of fun using the software. From then on I had to get Mavis Beacon, not for myself but for my Mum. When, we just started of with computers, our keyboard skills were quite poor-Mavis Beacon is an excellent software tool to counter that problem and improve your typing skills. You also have great fun. So, when I saw my Mum struggling on the PC I remembered how using the computer was for me when I was relatively new to them. Off I popped to the computer store and purchased this software. Basically, Mavis Beacon is a software package that does wonders for your computing skills. It doesn?t matter what level you are, there?s something for everyone?s level. Just take a typing test and Mavis Beacon will tell you you?re level and you can start from there. The good thing is the package makes you type really professionally, and if you follow the instructions from the start. You will soon be typing with two hands, and typing like an expert. There are different programmes to help you with you?re typing: Ragtime (typing rhythms) Space Junk (practising combinations) Chameleon Picnic-(accuracy) Shark Attack (typing speed) Check out Time Penguin Crossing (speed and accuracy of typing) The different games are designed to focus on speed and accuracy. If you play them you?re typing will improve. You become more familiar with the keypad and by the time you finish you will know the positions of the letters really well. The good thing about this computer software is that you learn and have fun at the same time. You will see the difference in your typing and the games that monitor you?re speed and accuracy are very helpful. You can also keep up to date with your progress with a chart that monitors your progress. The software is excellent for beginners and the more advanced typers. I
t?s money well spent and the fun and learning you get is invaluable. It is very easy to install and compatible with most computers.
