7 More Great Mouse Skills Programs
Last year, I posted four great sites to teach mouse skills. Well, I’ve found seven more since then I want to share with you. They teach kindergartners and first graders how to:
- single click
- double click
- drag and drop
Could you get through as an adult without those skills? Of course not. These sites are wonderfully entertaining approaches to learning these skills:
the Mouse Song
Single and double clicks to tidy the room
Single clicks to clean up the yard
Video about parts of the computer
Video about the mouse and the keyboard
Video about using the mouse
Great games for drag and drop
