Type to Learn

Type to Learn is an educational typing software program designed to teach keyboarding skills to students, primarily for use in schools. Originally developed by Sunburst Technology, it became a staple in American educational institutions for integrating computer literacy into the curriculum.

The program utilizes a gamified, space-themed storyline where students act as agents solving missions by typing accurately and quickly. This narrative approach, combined with rewarding animations, successfully keeps elementary and middle school students engaged during repetitive typing drills.

The modern iterations of Type to Learn are fully cloud-based and distributed via a web browser through a software-as-a-service subscription model. The program is currently published by Sunburst Digital Learning, which manages school and district licensing for the platform.

While primarily targeted at schools and districts, parents can indeed purchase individual home licenses for Type to Learn. Sunburst Digital Learning offers specific at-home subscription tiers so parents can utilize the exact same curriculum their children use in the classroom.
