Tux Typing 2 (downloadable program)

June 10, 2006 by Paul Hamilton

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff.

Here’s a typing tutor with a difference.

TuxTyping 2 This free open source program offers several engaging activities to help learn and practice computer keyboarding. This is not a typical typing tutor. Most activities involve hitting a designated key, or typing a word before the letter or word reaches the bottom of the screen. There are two distinct modes, “Fish Cascade” or “Comet Zap”. The former provides a gentler approach with music to match. “Comet Zap” is a little more like an arcade game. Within both modes, practice exercises and activities are offered in multiple levels. This program can help anyone become more a more effective typist by becoming more familiar with the location of the keys! In the process, you can have yourself some pretty good fun. Tux Typing 2 supports multiple languages, and you can download it from http://tuxtype.sourceforge.net/.

This program is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    TuxTyping is a great program. I will be recommending it to many students and teams that I work with.
