Lesson Comments
Ben enjoys playing games on the computer and he is building his mouse and keyboard skills along the way. We continue to work on Microsoft Office applications to build capabilities.
Today we used the computer to play chess to build mouse and keyboard skills. Mouse skills required are left clicking while dragging and releasing at the right time. Keyboard requires selecting game type and picture of representative for the game. The game builds skills for protecting and attacking requiring thinking ahead.

Lesson Comments
Mercer enjoyed playing chess on the computer, which helps to improve mouse control, keyboard skills, and manage problems simultaneously. After our initial 30 minutes, we moved to the lunch room to continue the lesson. Judie then asked to meet with Mercer for the remainder of our session.

Lesson Comments
Ben is getting better each session but needs to continue to develop keyboard skills (using shift keys and finding keys for symbols). Each time we login he gets better and he seems to enjoy learning. Today we actually played a chess game online part of the time, which helped him with mouse and keyboard skills as well.
Today Hank built more skills navigating through Microsoft Office by creating an additional PowerPoint file. He typed in a title, changed the fonts, and selected a background style for the presentation. He also imported pictures of buildings and we uploaded the file to Teams.
