KEYBOARDING SKILLS
[|Keyboarding Skills] I believe this one is my favorite one. It gives lessons on how to use the mouse properly in addition to the practice for typing. It has a large variety of lessons as well. It says it was created for grades 5-12, but I think it is a little bit cheesy even for fifth graders.

[|Dance Mat Typing] This site has four different levels and you can jump around from one level to the next, so if you have already mastered a skill you won't have to waste time retaking a level.

[|Touch Typing] You can use this website even when you are not online. You simply have to follow the instructions that are found on the main page. This site is also more adult like. It doesn't have kid feel to it, but is still easy to use. You can even select different keyboards from around the world to try out, though this may end up confusing you so use caution with this option.

[|Hyper Typer] I just love the name of this one! The site is something you will not want to try until you have the location of the fingers memorized. They have three different levels, easy, medium, and hard. This one also helps you with spelling as well as your typing since you have to type actual words.

[|TuxType] You will have to download this typing game. It is an open source software, which means that it is a program you don't have to pay for. It doesn't have to be used online either. Once it is installed it is on your computers hard drive, so you can access it anytime.
