have to be downloaded to computers, but it doesn't take long. It is =
very reasonably priced at $18 per computer, $12 for 10 to 30 computers, =
$6 for 31 to 200 computers, and $3 for more than 200 computers. All =
updates are free. It is available for Mac and Windows and the licenses =
are interchangeable between the two. The teacher can set up classes and =
control how the students use the program. The drills are excellent and =
can be set up so that students cannot progress until they master each =
level. There is also a game component called ParaTyper that the =
students enjoy. I have been very pleased with the program and my =
students' willingness to practice keyboarding. Some of my students have =
even asked their parents to purchase it for their home computers. The =
tech support is wonderful. Additional licenses can be purchased at any =
time. More information can be found on the web site at =

Subject: online typing programs
=20
We are looking for an online typing program for grades 2 - 8 that can
track students progress and log it via a userID (not an email address). =
We
are working to set benchmarks per grade level and we would like students
to be able to work at home for extra practice and have their lessons and
assessments recorded so that the teacher can see it. Does anyone know =
of
such a program? All of the ones we have found require an email address.=20
We don't want parents to have to install a program at home. We looked =
at
Type 2 Learn but it requires a full installation.=20
