It's a great way to get mouse practice and also get excited about learning English via the computer. They usually need help getting onto the website, but the motivation to hear the words gets them lots of practice with the mouse.

Although the activties are good, teachers will need to carefully walk through instructions. (These particular ones are good aren't always intuitive.) http://www.clta.on.ca/EAOnline/MouseMaster/ http://www.ckls.org/~crippel/computerlab/tutorials/mouse/page1.html You might try this so they put things into practice. http://tech.worlded.org/docs/clothing/index.html Good luck, Steve Quann World Education Steve Quann NELRC / World Education 44 Farnsworth Street Boston, MA 617.482.9485 >>> heyer@ticon.net 04/28/04 10:07 AM >>> The IT person in our school district has volunteered to do a couple of "Introduction to the Computer" classes with our adult ESL learners. We have two terrific bilingual high school students to translate and help, so language will not be a problem. But we need some web sites to go to that would help orient our students to the use of the mouse and other basic skills. Any suggestions for web sites that would be appropriate for adults who have no experience with computers, the Internet, or typing? I'd like to find some sites that either teach basic skills or are just fun to explore, with minimal language. Most are Spanish speakers. Thanks!
