Designed for schools, QwertyTown is a Flash-based, web delivered virtual world dedicated exclusively to keyboarding. It provides a "safe, teacher-controlled environment where students can communicate with their classmates, teachers, and friends" as they learn keyboarding skills. This communication includes the ability to compare scores on leaderboards ("who's the best typer"), send and receive Qmail, and chat with users on their Friends lists in an environment that will help provide them with a fundamental skill set essential for academic and professional success in the 21st century. Created by Paul Garofano & David Grammerstorf of Second Nature Learning. Prices start at $30 per child per year. Only school accounts are available.
