Hello! I'm a computer science student, one of many applicants to the Google Summer of Code / OLPC project who came up just a bit shy of acceptance. Nonetheless, I plan to move ahead with working on my proposed project, a typing tutor. My mentor on this project is Wade Brainerd.
The goal of this project is to deliver an activity that allows teachers to create typing lessons for children that are written in the kid's native language using age-appropriate words and sentences. The application will do this using a flexible lesson screen that displays an on-screen keyboard and one or two of a variety of tools to indicate progress/speed/accuracy etc. For each lesson, the lesson screen will be formatted using the lesson text and settings provided in a separate text file edited/written by teachers. As time permits, I plan to develop a GUI interface to help teachers create these lesson text files. If you have any comments, suggestions, or feedback on this project please let me know. Thanks!
