This presentation was designed to walk foundation level students through the basics of computer use. This includes using a mouse, the arrow and number keys, how to create capital letters, and even a few keyboard shortcuts.
Alongside the presentation, we have also created a series of posters that you can use to reinforce these topics and decorate your room.
The presentation's final slide can be used as a demonstration, or even as an assessment item, where your students can open, edit, and save a sequencing exercise on the three little pigs.
