Typing in the Age of iPads
In the age of touchscreens and smartphones, typing drills on a traditional QWERTY keyboard may not be the best use of anybody's time. Instead, new technologies are helping overcome the vexing issues of speed, accuracy, and screen space that are the consequence of importing standard typing techniques to mobile technologies.

Typing and health ... advice
As far as health is concerned, there are many conditions that need to exist if we want to protect our children from problems that may be caused by the inappropriate use of the wrist, fingers, eyes, sitting incorrectly, etc.
It has been found that most children who learn to type at an early age do not report any problems or pain. The fact is that it is very difficult to change habits after being accustomed to typing in a certain way, and this influences our entire posture in front of the screen.

Animated Beginning Typing
http://www.flixprod.com/typing.html
Animated Beginning Typing : - Is designed for young typists (grades Pre-K to 3rd), and teaches proper typing technique for the letter keys. Sound effects and animation are used to make learning to type fun (and funny). Help is given with an animated tutorial, a screen to show proper fingering, and an on-screen keyboard which highlights the correct key when needed.
Because of the program's design - no arcade distractions and only one element is presented at a time - it is a good choice for beginning typists or children with dysgraphia or other special learning needs.
There are three games in the program. "Jumping Letters" is designed for very young students, and can be played at any pace. Each correctly typed letter is rewarded with the letter being removed by an animated "critter" chosen by the pupil. When 10 letters are completed (context- sensitive help insures success), the child gets a silly cartoon.
