NitroType - A great way to engage students - NCCE Blog

Spread the loveTyping is one of those skills that takes practice.  If you have ever tried to teach typing you quickly find that the greatest challenge is keeping students engaged in the practice process.  The absolute best site I have found for typing engagement is NitroType.  NitroType is a fast paced, multiplayer game where users “power” their race car by their typing speed.  Players can earn up to three nitro’s per race (used by pressing the enter or return key) to skip over a word.  Winning races earn the player virtual money to spend on new cars and customizations.  While the individual cars do not have any special abilities I have been impressed with how motivating collecting the different cars are to students.  In addition to collecting new cars, NitroType uses achievements as well as any game on the market
