What are you using for the Elem grades with typing classes? We are looking to upgrade to a different program and would like to find one that is server based and will keep track of teh student progress.

We are currently using Type to Learn 3. It is network based. I know they have TTL4 out but I have not looked into updating to that version. We are running TTL3 on macs.
Key Champ, Micropace Pro, Microtype Multimedia, MicroType Pro, Paws in Typing Town and Typing Time. All purchased in the 90's...
We use Ellsworth Publishing's Keyboarding for Kids. It is web-based and the teachers/students like it.
UltraKey. The program is pretty plane-jane. I really do not like the TTL3 interface...it's too distracting. Plus, I don't believe the exercises really do a good job stressing home-row fingering. Most of the games & exercises involve very simple, repetitive keystrokes that really don't exercise the entire range of keyboard fingering.
