computer class

we were asked to teach an English conversation and computer literacy class.  what qualifies us?  well, we can speak English and we know how to use computers.  that's it and that is all that is needed.

we had our first class today...  it was super fun.  the teachers and staff who are taking part in these training really enjoyed themselves and seem to have learned quite a bit too.  for many if not all, it was the first time they had ever been on a computer.  can you believe that?  they did splendidly well.  they were super cute... i was explaining the computer mouse and how you move it to move the cursor on the screen... and the next thing i see... one of the staff raising their mouse up in the air, hoping it would move the cursor!  i'll need to explain better next time. super cute nonetheless.  the class was an hour but most stayed nearly an extra hour just to practice typing and playing solitaire (to practice mouse click, drag, drop skills).

i'm looking for recommendations for good typing tutor software (free or cheap).
