@dlcinstructor- Yes, your students have to log in to the typing tutor for them to appear on your radar. The Student Radar is set up to show you what your students are doing on the website at that particular moment, so if no one is logged in the radar will be empty.

I’m not seeing all the students who are logged in. A couple are missing.

Hmmm.. If this happens again please email me while the missing students are logged in so I can troubleshoot the issue for you. http://www.typingweb.com/support/contact/

Does the radar only show when the kids have completed a lesson. Does it show them in the typing games.

Jana- The radar shows you exactly what the kids are doing on the site at all times. For example, you might see one student’s action listed as “Viewing Courses page”, another listed as, “Taking typing test”, another listed as “Playing Game- Keybaord Ninja” all in real-time.

i think the games need to be more interactive. i see my students play and they get so bored they lose to see if anything happens.

You should have your kids play Nitro Type. It is a competitive type racing game that we created and everyone loves it. It is very interactive, with the ability to race friends or other players from around the world in real time, buy and sell cars, earn achievements etc. It’s exactly what you are looking for. Check out http://www.nitrotype.com

I just joined Nitro Type yesterday! I am now a member. I only got to play on it a few minutes, because I had to eat dinner. Then I went home. And I don’t have internet at home. But Nitro Type is so cool!!!!!!
