Suggestions for a Catalina compatible typing program for elementary students

[psherotov]

Hello,

Our K12 Coordinator has used Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for many years and we are now facing finding a different program because they have not reeleased a 64-bit version yet.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Have you looked at Web-based typing sites? Our district has moved from computer based typing programs to web-based sites, because we're still in the process of switching all of our students over to using Chromebooks instead of MacBooks. We will still have MacBooks for very specific things.

@Damon.Byg Do you have a web based site you'd recommend? I was looking at https://www.lwtears.com/kwt

I was also looking at an app: Typing Fingers, which looked pretty nice for elementary students.

Unfortunately I do not have a specific site that we use in our distrcit. After looking at one of our building's websites I found sixteen different typing sites that they use to teach typing to our elementary students. I think they allow the students to choose which site they want to learn typing from.

@Damon.Byg I take it these are free sites? Could you list a few? Thanks so much!

I'm not 100% sure if these are free or not. But the entire list on the one school's site is the following. A lot of these are from www.abcya.com

1. Typing Club - www.typingclub.com
2. Typetastic - typetastic.com
3. www.roomrecess.com
4. play.typeracer.com
5. 10fastfingers.com
6. Keyboard Zoo - www.abcya.com/games/keyboarding_practice
7. Keyboard Zoo 2 - www.abcya.com/games/keyboarding_practice_2
8. Ghost Typing Jr - www.abcya.com/games/ghost_typing_jr
9. Cup Stack Typing - www.abcya.com/games/cup_stack_typing_game
10. Typing Rocket - www.abcya.com/games/typing_rocket
11. Ghost Typing - www.abcya.com/games/ghost_typing
12. Typing Race - www.abcya.com/games/typing_race_cars
13. Keyboard Challenge - www.abcya.com/games/keyboard_challenge
14. Keyboard Climber - www.tvokids.com/school-age/games/keyboard-climber
15. Keyboard Climber 2 - www.tvokids.com/school-age/games/keyboard-climber-2

Apparently one of the links on our site no longer works, so I had to remove it from the list.
