Mouse Skills

One of my students taught himself how to use the computer mouse last week.  We'd been trying to help him with this but we're getting nowhere.  A couple of weeks ago, he started to watch some classmates on the computer VERY attentively looking back and forth from their hand to the computer screen until he finally got it.  This is a student that until last year showed very little social awareness and now he has learned a new skill from watching his peers and by interacting with them!  We've been using a Smart Board for several years and an iPad for the last few months so he was used to touch screens - and he really wanted to be able to use a regular computer as well.  It was incredible to watch his pride as he picked up this new skill with the help of his friends.
