Improving mouse skills and keyboard awareness

Improving mouse skills and keyboard awareness
Advice from BECTA (UK)
Understanding the connection between moving a mouse or trackerball and movement on a computer screen can sometimes take time to develop, as can the concept of making choices. For those pupils who need lots of opportunities to master not only the concepts but also the motor control necessary, there is software that can help.
The program Toyshop offers a three-stage progression from cause and effect, through making choices, to a memory game.
It uses clear images of toys which are animated in a simple way with sound effects.

Tidy the Classroom
http://tr.im/sUKz
Tidy the Classroom
"This activity can be used to develop children's 'mouse skills' and enhance their hand/eye co-ordination.
Although the activity is intuitive additional 'help' instructions are available by rolling over the different objects in the room.
The opening screen provides an area where children can practice their 'single' and double clicking' skills as well as 'dragging and dropping' before moving on to the activity itself. The objective of the activity is for the child to tidy up a messy classroom. There are a number of tasks which can be completed in any order. Rolling over the objects in the classroom displays a prompt as to the mouse action required. Once everything has been tidied away there is a 'reward' and an option to play again."

Making your mouse left handed - Introduction
http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/myway/keyboard/mouse/intro-mouse-left-handed.htm
Making your mouse left handed - Introduction
The easiest finger for clicking a mouse button with is your index finger, and the most commonly used button is the left mouse button. Thus, by default, your computer mouse is setup for a right handed user.
Most left handed users either use the mouse in their right hand, or in their left hand with the left click button under their middle finger. Neither option is very satisfactory.
This module shows you how to setup your mouse for a left handed user.
