moreTyping fingers is a great app attempting to catch children at an early age to develop the much undermined skill of keyboarding, an absolutely essential digital skill, that is sadly overlooked in many an educational system. The gamification of this particular app is another good example of how enhancing a basic skill can be developed by the motivation to win, gain prizes and get to the next level! Review: This program has been usefully developed on the Unity game engine to ensure a broad reach of deployment across a number of platforms, an essential requirement for a busy teacher working with a variety of devices and operating systems. Downloading the program is simple and you are immediately drawn into the programme environment, which is both calming; with the pensive piano background music and exciting; with the breezy cloudy background and a bright colourful collage of some of the screens that can be chosen. The cartoon student reminiscent of a Mario steam punk character in between two bright red shooting rockets gives the user a curious whiff of excitement where you are ready to embark on a new adventure. The start screen provides the user with the opportunity to enter their name or nick name which is saved on the defaults when they come back to another level, the icon also displays the current level beside the name.
