Perhaps because I never learned proper typing technique, I am fascinated by typing tutorials and games that provide instant feedback about my typing skills, or lack thereof. Typing Web is one of those tutorials that provides instant feedback after every free typing lesson. Typing Web offers beginner through advanced typing lessons for free. You can register to track your progress or you can use Typing Web without registering.
Applications for Education
Typing Web's free lessons are designed for individual use on home computers making it a good place for students to practice on their own. Typing Web does offer a paid service that allows teachers to create student accounts and monitor their students' progress.

g'day Mr Byrne .. just flicking through your posts. Some very useful ideas for teachers, so thank you!! (i had no idea it was so easy to build a custom toolbar.)
Reading this post about typing made me wonder if you've heard of the Dvorak keyboard? So much better for human comfort and enjoyment while typing.. but it's not featured on the site you recommend.
Yes i'm a dvorak fan, so i always try to open people's minds ;-]
Here are some notes i wrote about it on my wikispace.
best regards, michael
