EduTyping.com is a website that students can practice their typing skills and fundamentals. It is broken down into letters & common symbols, words & sentences, and numbers & letter reviews.

It caluclate the time based on actual typing time and not how long they have been on the website. There is a teacher login and a student login.

This is a keyboarding resource. There are lessons, games, and timed typing tests included in this resource. The lessons and games increase in difficuly, so students can move onto the next test or lesson as they learn more keys in the classroom. The timed typing tests give word per minute and errors. I use the typing tests primarily, as it's a good way to gauge progress. Students can log their words per minute and errors each time they perform the timed typing tests, so they can observe their progress. Options for timings for timed tests  up are 1-5 minutes.

Keyboarding Olympics is a cumulative activity for a keyboarding class that consists of a variety of "events" comprised of keyboarding games, all created by Laura Schoenike, Menomonee Falls High School. This activity is best used in a 90-minute period (or two 45-minute periods) once students have learned all of the keys. Students are split into teams of "countries" and complete in 4 events: Wheel of Fortune (identifying letters by striking finger), Dinosaur Names (typing accuracy and speed), Human Tic-Tac-Toe (knowledge of keying technique), and Movie Songs (typing accuracy and speed).

This is a supplementary game that is great for reinforcing which fingers correctly type each letter key.

This is a sequence of supplementary keyboarding lessons based on using just a single hand. Often times when you teach keyboarding a student will come to class one day with a splint on their fingers, wrist brace, or arm cast, etc. This lesson sequence is for those students . These are workouts that involve just keys from a single hand. The student can still practice typing, the correct way, using their hand that isn't injured.

***These are not lessons to teach a person how to type the entire keyboard with a single hand. For instance if someone only has one hand and needed to type all the keys with one hand. This resource is intended for short-term use to fill in when a student in your class all of a sudden has a brace, splint, or cast on a hand and you want to have them keep practicing the correct way. Now they can at least practice one of their hands the correct way.
