Lots of good resources of Typing resources.
Thanks for the useful post !
I have another great online typing tutor which is 100% free. It's called TypingWeb. Recently the site launched a ton of new features to improve the teacher portal making it easier for teachers to manage students and also made improvements to the typing tutor, making it more motivational for students. It's great for students at any skill level and really helps improve touch typing skills and dexterity while allowing students to go at their own pace.
Perhaps it could be included in an upcoming post...? :-)
