What’s the current method to teach tweens to type? My 12 year old needs to beef up his skills in terms of speed and touch typing.

My oldest kid hit two big milestones today:
• Braces went on, starting his orthodonture adventure
• He got his first brand new Mac (he's had iPads for years, but his computer was a hand-me-down gaming PC).
My wallet hurts, and my heart hurts how much my little baby is growing up. When he was born, I was working for Apple. Now he has his first Mac!

Just looking at the spotter guide for the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans race and each driver is listed with their *instagram* handle. ~8 years ago that would have definitely had been a Twitter handle.
Also related, if you have any sort of interest in car racing, Le Mans style sportscar/endurance racing is having an amazing renaissance right now. The cars and races are great.
