Using the mouse
For young children, the mouse will be the primary interface they use with the computer. Although most do not have any difficulty correlating the movement of the mouse with the movement of the cursor on the monitor, they do often get confused with clicking, double clicking, and click and drag. This is the introductory lesson in mouse use for a Kindergarten class. It is spread over three days to accommodate short attention spans.
