(Computer Appications) No Mouse Part 2 (September 12, 2012)

As talked about in an earlier post, we don't need a mouse for most computer tasks.

In the coming days, we will have a series of performance based challenges. The challenge: complete a series of tasks without the mouse. We will do this at the start of the class on Friday.
