Coding
Code.org
Self-guided lessons - build apps, play games, become a CS expert
This is an amazing, comprehensive, free resource with tons of engaging content. It is especially effective when done in small group settings or pairs. I recommend catching a workshop or looking at the parent and teacher resources.
Scratch
Web based creative programming projects for kids!
"Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations." (from the Scratch website)
KidsCanCode: YouTube Playlist
A series of videos on how to program using Python
This is a YouTube Playlist all about learning to code with Python
Typing
Ratatype
A simple typing tutor with free lessons and tests. It is for traditional touch typing. No games involved - this is a tool for serious typing practice! See "Video Games" section for typing games (should only be used as a supplement to actual typing instruction; I do not believe kids learn to type efficiently or accurately without studying the type touching method)
A selection of fun typing games (and word games too!)
Here you will find a series of fun typing games. My favorites are: "Just Type This" and "Space Words"
