Typing Software

[mole]

Hi

 

Not wanting to try and install Mavis Beacon teaches typing Network Version 15 from 2003 on Windows 7 32bit computers, apart from it's American and opens up in 16bit graphics

 

does anyone use any other typing software for teaching RSA to yr 11.12&13's

 

It needs to be networkable so teacher can monitor progress etc....

It also doesn't need to be free.

 

Had a good search on Google but cannot find anything that look suitable

 

 

thanks

I always liked Typing of the dead myself. Ok it’s more of a game but it keep the children interested, is challenging typing wise and has mini games focusing on your weak keys, accuracy scores, time trails. But I don’t think it was networked.

 

For very young children there is “Type with Tizzy” We also use 2Simple Software - Making simple, powerful & creative educational software - 2Type

You could look at TypingMaster Online - they've added a junior course for 8-12 year olds, but it was already pretty customisable. Works best via an ActiveX on the desktop. The Web-console allows teachers to customise their courses and track progress - student details and report data are import/export via csv. We've used it for about 5 years and it's been no trouble at all.
