Our S1 pupils are familiar with the laptops and tablets they use at primary school, all of which have trackpads or touchscreens. But the computers here at OLHS  all use mice, so our new arrivals need to lean to use the mouse pretty quickly. Over time, they’ll also improve their typing and will gain skills in a variety of computer software.

To help with the typing and mouse skills, we’ve put together a collection of games and activities that require improved accuracy in moving the mouse, drawing lines, and pointing and clicking.

The list has already been enthusiastically adopted by pupils in ICT and during lunchtimes in the Library and is helping pupils adapt to the technology.
