Your student needs good typing skills to use a computer effectively. We offer Keyboarding Skills from EPS which teaches basic keyboarding for students of all ages. For older students, Mastering Computer Typing might be a better choice because it focuses on typing on the computer and offers information about the keyboard, fonts, etc. We also offer Typing Instructor Platinum from Alpha Omega Publications, a CD-Rom course that works on Windows and Macintosh.
