What is a Mouse?
• The mouse is a hand held device that lets you interact with the computer by pointing to things on the screen. When you move the mouse on a flat surface a cursor (arrow) moves on the screen. By using the buttons on the mouse you can choose, highlight and move objects

Parts of a Mouse.
“Click”“Hold”
Left clicking - clicking the left button while the pointer is over something on the screen will select it.
Right clicking - clicking the right button while the pointer is over something on the screen will bring up a menu of options. These are menu shortcuts for quick access. (ex. copy and paste)
Double-clicking - Double-clicking means clicking twice with your left mouse button very fast. This is used to begin programs. This will be explained further in future tutorials.
Dragging - Holding down the mouse button while over an object will grab on to it. While holding down the mouse button you will be able to move (drag) the object.Dropping - After dragging an item, releasing the mouse button will leave (drop) the object at the new place on the screen.
