Kansas City, KS schools make Master Key their typing tutor choice for thousands of their students.
A couple of the unsolicted comments from our school customers| I just want to tell you that my students are LOVING Master Key! So far we have just started with the 3rd graders, and they are doing so well! I am very glad we found it and I have been really happy with how it is working on our network. | You will be happy to know that some of the teachers here tried Mavis Beacon for a while last year because they thought it "must" be better than MK. If you have never seen the network version of Mavis on OS X, it's a nightmare. Needless to say, they are back to using MK exclusively. | | Master Key receives honorable mention for best education software at the REALbasic Design Awards 2004 | Master Key gets 4.9 of 5.0 cubes in
