Three CD-Rom Set:

Level 1 - Rollover
Level 2 - Click It
Level 3 - Click & Drag I

This pack has been designed for children with little or no prior computer use. These 3 CD-Roms are a great introduction to computers for young children.

They will learn all about the mouse cursor relationship, how to identify clickable buttons, and basic clicking & dragging using colours and shapes, sounds and Maori language.

The focus of rollover is to introduce children to the exciting world of computers by discovering the mouse/cursor relationship. The lessons are fun and an exciting way for children to gain confidence with computers.

The focus of ClickIt is to introduce children to the Skill of clicking the mouse and recognizing associated icons. The lessons are fun and an exciting way for children to gain confidence with computers.

The focus of Click & Drag I is to introduce children to the Skill of being able to click and drag the mouse to interact with activities on the screen. A fun and exciting way for children to gain confidence with computer.


This set is interactive, bi-cultural, educational and most importantly FUN! It is aimed for use in Early Education and Junior Primary and compliments the National Curriculum (Te Whariki).
Our audio and visual demonstrations direct the children clearly and simply on how the computer mouse works. The children have a choice of three different size cursors (in Rollover) and two different size cursors in ClickIt, (if necessary, we also suggest that you reduce mouse speed to make it easier for your child to use).

Children also have a choice of EASY or HARD lessons. This enables children with all different levels of ability to learn at their own pace. We have found this builds confidence. There are 10 interactive lessons for each skill base and these lessons can be followed either individually, as a class group, or with teacher assistance.

There are help buttons, audio instructions and teachers notes for all lessons. There is a project at the end of each level which revises the entire Rollover, ClickIt, and Click&Drag I Levels, and can be printed on completion. If the children are confident in completing these projects then we recommend they move on to the next level: Click&Drag II and Keyboard Skills.

An instruction manual is included.
