Any ideas anyone?

Has anyone used a particularly good system that is available either to buy or to use online?

My children like this one.
Somebody on mn posted this a while ago, which looks good.

The BBC has a touch typing tutor,

If you can tolerate the dreadful music there is Mario Teaches typing

This is the home version of one we use at the junior school I work at - it's simple to install & fun to use.

kewala's keyboard is good. It kept my children motivated for ages.

The BBC one "Dance mat touch typing" is really good, we are using it in school to teach a small group of children from 7-11 years who have problems with their handwriting. It is very easy to use and access.

We use English TouchType available via the Dyslexia Institute website.
