Typing


Dance Mat Typing:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/

Touch Typing:  http://www.sense-lang.org/typing/tutor/index.php?lang=EN

Typing Practice:  http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/typing/index.htm


Note: Please limit keyboarding to 10-15 min. per day for maximum benefit - spending more than than this tend to cause students to lose focus on using the keyboarding technique in an optimal way. I prefer Touch Typing from the list above.
