Keyboarding Skills

I tried out 3 different typing skills website. The first  was http://www.speedtypingonline.com/typing-test on this cite you can play games and test your speed. It gave you a quote to type and you would have to type it as fast as you could with few errors. This cite is good for increasing speed. The next cite I played on was http://www.typingstudy.com/lesson/1/part/2. This cite had lessons that ranged from basic beginner typing to more advance typing skills. I liked that in the beginner lessons it showed you where your finger should be and if you typed the right key the key on the screen would turn green but if you typed the wrong key it turned red. This would be very helpful for someone who is learning to type or for younger children. The last cite I tried was http://www.how-to-type.com/touch-typing-lessons/how-to-type-home-keys/. I liked that this cite divided the lesson up into rows of the keyboard. The lessons started out easy but became harder. They also focused on one had at a time before going to both hands. This might also be easier for young children or someone who is leaning to type.
