Sandra,
Try the following links. Although the activties are good, teachers will
need to carefully walk through instructions. (These particular ones are
good aren't always intuitive.)

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!
