Four CD-Rom Set:

Level 1 - Rollover
Level 2 - Click It
Level 3 - Click & Drag I
Level 4 - Click & Drag II

These four CD-Roms are a great way to give our children complete confidence in mouse skills. They cover all levels of ability so children can learn complete mouse skills at their own pace. They will learn all about the mouse/cursor relationship, how to identify clickable buttons, 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 focus of ClickIt is to introduce children to the Skill of clicking the mouse and recognizing associated icons.

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.

The focus of Click & Drag II is to follow on from Click & Drag I by giving the children complete confidence in 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 computers

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 keyboard works, (if necessary, we also suggest that you reduce mouse speed and reduce keyboard speed to make it easier for your child to use).

Children have a choice of EASY or HARD lessons, and also in CLICK & DRAG SKILLS there are numerous numeracy and literacy lessons so they have the added choice of "SHOW ME THE ANSWERS PLEASE" or "I CAN ANSWER MYSELF THANKS". 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 Level and can be printed on completion. If the children are confident in completing this project then we recommend they move on to the next level: Keyboard Skills.

An instruction manual is included.
