My school is one to one with Chromebooks and they are not touch screens. Trackpad activities, such as this, that are no prep and easy to assign through Google Classroom are perfect. Thank you.
Michelle Z. (verified owner) –
I used this as a training exercise for the students before utilizing laptops in the classroom. It helped them learn how to use the trackpad on their computers so they could be well prepared to work independently on the laptops.
Jennifer H. (verified owner) –
Love that it is fall themed for the younger students. We have used this in the computer lab and it has been such a great resouce in assisting the kindergarteners with using the mouse.
Robin W. (verified owner) –
This was a great activity for my littles. I used with a mouse and keypad for practice at the begining of the year with the students.
Marilyn A. (verified owner) –
I teach middle school, but have several “special” students that need help with using the mouse. This was perfect for helping them develop those skills. After they complete the slides I reset them back to the original version for them to practice again.
