Typing Turtle

Having tried several typing tutorials including Mavis Beacon, Mario, and even paper based practice tutorials, this program is by far the best and most flexible. You can create your own lessons and save them as individual files.

I haven`t tested the game part but just the lesson part is exceptional programming. It uses fluency to time how many letters they typed and the accuracy. This is important. To gain speed, you must first be accurate, then you gain speed by keeping the accuracy over a period of time.

This program could be expanded to upload reports to the teacher (I think?), keep a file on a student`s progress, and require a student to repeat a lesson if they did not score high enough.
