10 Fast Fingers is a free online typing tutor that is simple yet effective in teaching the basics of keyboarding.  It is based on touch typing principals meaning that we know where the keys are based on muscle memory rather than sight.  I enjoyed using the lessons, and will continue to use it until I break my poor keyboarding habits.

I recently had a teacher ask me about multiplication games that can be used on older Mac computers. Although there are older programs out there it is getting more difficult to find. The solution is on the internet. Game Quarium is a good location to find fun online games to teach kids about many subjects. It is worth looking through the many available games. Not all of the games are that good, but some stand out and are interesting to kids. The downside is that these games are not very good at teaching new concepts. The games are essentially a fun way to do flash cards.
