Does anyone have any reviews/experience with typing software? I'm specifically looking for something little kids can use as well as older adults who are learning to use a computer for the first time? I know there are a lot of products out there but i really want to find one that is worth the money.

At school, we use Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. This software has been around for years. My husband learned touch-typing on an old version. You can get it at Walmart, but probably cheaper online at Ebay or yahoo shopping. I think it is up to version 17 now. At school, we are an ACE school, which uses Typemaster. You can check on ebay to see if you can find a copy of this. The 1st graders start off with Typemaster. You can buy it (bundled with a spelling program, and a math program (worth it I think!) that will help your children with other things besides just typing. Their site is www.schooloftomorrow.com/ you can find it in the online store.

You can try here. You may want to consider two separate programs inasmuch as if it is not fun for the kids, they won't stick with it. Spongebob is cute. Adults will like Mavis Beacon.
