Keyboard and Mouse Skills Practice
Many Toronto Public Library customers sign up for computer and library training programs at various library branches. Those with little or no computer experience often start with the Web Basics for Seniors Part 1 (Move That Mouse) workshop to gain computer mouse and keyboarding experience. One can download here a copy of the Web Basics for Seniors Part 1 – Move that Mouse participant’s package.
The participant’s package includes a list of free websites on which to practice computer mouse and keyboarding skills. The list is re-published below for convenience. Anyone interested in taking a Move That Mouse or Web Basics for Seniors workshop should check the TPL website for branch locations, dates and times, and how to register.
