Top 5 Sites to improve students typing skills
There are two schools of thought that think of typing as an actual skill that needs to be taught and refined and those that believe it is just something that evolves as your computer skills develop in general. I am not so phased with typing as I probably should be but I have come across a few worthwhile sites that I will direct my students to have a play on to hopefully increase their skills on the keyboard in their own time. Enjoy and I'd love to hear of any others you know of.
