Using the mouse

The mouse pointer moves when you move the mouse around on a surface.  Although it can assume different shapes, the arrow shown at left is common.  To point with the mouse, move the pointer until it rests on the desired object.  To click on something, point to it and then press and quickly release the left mouse button.

Practice:

1. Rest your hand lightly on the mouse and move it.  Note how the pointer moves as your hand does.
2. Point to the correct answer (A.) on the sample question below and click on the circle next to the letter A.  Notice that the open circle next to the answer you chose is now filled in.

A. Correct answer

B. Incorrect answer

If you experience any problems with the mouse (or other computer equipment), please inform your local proctor at this time.
