Hi! While these web games are often free and accessible to any student anywhere, they have serious drawbacks in terms of limited pedagogical design, inflexible exercise materials, IT network burden, and ad-based business models. Best Regards, Arella Bernales Community Moderator at Typesy ---

Hello, @muhammedmckenzie! As with anything on the internet, you must consider your online privacy. If you find a typing program is free to use, you’re likely paying by offering up your data to the site. Typesy does not allow advertising on the platform, so you can be sure your activity is safe. No unwanted ads will be popping up while you work, and your data is kept secure and private. Regards, Alex (The Reimagined Classroom Teacher)
