mo2 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Which version of Mavis Beacon do your kids use? Has anyone tried Keyboarding Kidz? (I'm tempted not to use it just because they spelled kids with a z!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfinlady Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 My DD9 uses Keyboarding Kidz, and she likes it a lot. My DS13 uses whichever was the latest version of Mavis Beacon Deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Keyboarding Kidz, does it do all the teaching? I want something that I won't have to sit right beside her while she does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfinlady Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It does do all the teaching. It shows them everything. Very kid friendly. Mavis is a cartoon, and has a cartoon friend, and there are games as well as lessons. No need to sit by and watch them do it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned with Mavis Beacon back in the late 80s/early 90s but I wasn't sure what had changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Mavis Beacon deluxe cartoonish as well? I'm looking for software for my ds14 but he doesn't want anything that looks like it's for little kids.

Elfinlady Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 No, in the deluxe version, Mavis looks computer generated, not cartoonish. I'd think it would be fine for your DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
