Do you teach elementary keyboarding??? If you haven't looked at [link] you should. It is fantastic. Since starting to use it this quarter my elementary classes have become almost silent. The kids are working so hard!! I have positive and negative behaviors that they can get points or lose points... once they reach 10 then 20 then 30 and so on they get to have something from the prize bucket... aka cheap stuff from the dollar store, dum dum suckers... etc....
