From site:  PowerTyping is an online free typing tutor for Qwerty - US standard 101 keyboard and Dvorak keyboard - the US alternative ANSI standard keyboard. Our free online typing lessons are supported with Qwerty keyboard  and Dvorak keyboard to help with hand positioning over a keyboard. Lessons have timed exercises to practice. Some of our games are enhanced with music. Lessons are great not only for beginners but also for experienced Qwerty typist who want to take the plunge and learn to type Dvorak.

Our tutorial is designed to teach, develop and practice, step by step, typing skills. Separate lessons are written for Dvorak and Qwerty which enable typing of whole words pretty soon on both keyboards. One should go through lessons in sequence because they rehearse keys already learned as they add new ones. Instructions for hand positioning over keyboard are included in lessons.

Our free typing tutorial strives to make typing for kids and adults fun...

To spice the practice, check out the educational typing games. Some are enhanced with music. The most popular typing game is the Barracuda and its less graphical version the BarracudaS. Then there are the Foggies a typing game without boundaries. My recommendation for this game is to turn on music, relax and "just keep typing". Achhhh... the controversial Ghost typing game. The origin of this game is based on my own experience. I caught myself sitting by the computer munching away and I thought:"I wish somebody whacked me over the head when I think of food". And typing game was born. No offence intended to anyone.

The Alphabetic Rain typing game focuses on letters and the Falling Words challenges a typist with words or numbers.

Typing games rock

These are fun games. I liked Barracuda best. Ghosts was a lot harder and I don't type fast enough for that yet but i'm getting better. You'll like these games and you can even learn how to type but the games are better.
