sends you a product key and password to download the software to your =
computers. Updates are free. The program stores a history of students =

which makes it an even better deal. There is a game included called =
Paratyper that you can enable or disable in the program.

You might try out the new Type to Learn 4 Network edition. =20
The application itself is well done. We purchased the web version which =

issues, but I am hoping it will work better this year. (TTL4 web =

the computer and the data is stored online. I think they actually =

stable now, although they put out another "mandatory update" the week =

computer imaging for the summer.)

Has anyone used any typing software besides Mavis Beacon that you would =

Thanks in advance,
