Typing Jets is a multi-player racing game that allows students from anywhere in the world to race one another while practicing typing and keyboard skills!

Education is part of life. It should be fun and challenging... not boring. Children should learn while they are playing. It is impossible to imagine any educational or professional experience without using typing. This skill can be very successfully learnt if it is taught when children are pretty little. I tried this activity with my little son, niece and nephew they find it interesting to try typing the words correctly and quickly. Frequently they failed but tried again and again to insure they could make it.

Great online activity to improve listening skills.

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.

This is a really cool activity that helps improve your typing skills of English. I tried it myself and it really helps. Also during your learning process when you get more and more familiar with it you can change the level by following the web site and try out new things. I suggest you try this activity with the students who are learning the alphabet. It will be really interesting for them because it involves both technology and learning.

This game will help the students of advance level to promote their vocabulary skills, to use different types of phrase. The students should drag the items to the correct positions.

Text Terminator destroys texts, you have to reconstruct them. You'll see the text dotted, click on the first dot to listen to the text and then type the words to reconstruct it. Good activity for listening skill. I found this very useful to practice listening and develop vocabulary. I tried this with a friend of mine (Upper in level). He said that he liked the practice very much and at times challenging. I believe that this is more appropriate for upper/advanced students.
