This is an outline of the Keyboarding Curriculum. The students in visit the computer lab weekly for 20 minutes of keyboarding practice. Some say that children should not learn keyboarding until third grade, but I disagree. The sooner the children form good habits the better.

Keyboarding is an important skill for children -- that's why I created a website with typing games for my after-school group to use.
Over the years it's grown and now has over 50 typing games! It's a kid-safe site -- I work hard to ensure that when links go to outside pages, those pages don't have inappropriate ads or links to non-educational games, and I update the site regularly.

If you don't mind doing a little work, I've got two solutions you can download for free from my website. You can download the "guts" of a CD in a zipped file -- extract and burn to a CD. The CD auto-runs with a bunch of free typing software ready to run.
One CD has a bunch of games, including TuxTyping2 and Mario Teaches Typing, and one is Typing of the Dead demo.
