I'm following the format used by programs like MicroType and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (what I personally learned on).  Both have demo versions for Windows available.  TT will be simple compared with these programs, but they are the general template. We are working towards an alpha in early January.. When it's ready I will announce it on the sugar list.

How do you imagine a "typing teaching activity" to work? What does the "Typing Turtle" activity that was mentioned look like?
