Mouse & Keyboard Skills
Year 1 and year 2 have been working hard to learn both mouse and keyboard skills. Both are really important to master if children want to use almost any type of software. I created a special page on this website so children could easily access all they needed to use in one place.
Using the Mouse
Click, and double click - mouse skills
Children have been using different websites to help improve their mouse skills. Using a mouse can be difficult with such small hands and there are many different skills to master such as click, left and right click, double click and using the scroll wheel.
I created a special page on The LearningZone website that children could use to quickly find the practice sites. If you click the button below, you can tryout some of these sites.
keyboard skills
Finding the letters & CLICKER 8
Using the keyboard for the first time is not easy to do and finding where all the letters are can be tricky.
We used a number of different websites to help improve our keyboard skills. After a couple of weeks children started to use Clicker 8 and produced their first sentences.
Children even typed a Christmas greeting to their teacher.
