Mouse skills ?
Ben's favorite television program "Something Special" (Mr Tumble) has a website with some new games.
One of the games (Balloon popping) was demonstrated on the TV and the presenter said he was using a web cam so that the game could see where he was pointing - like a Play Staton Eye Toy or a Microsoft Kinetic. The laptop I'm using doesn't have a web cam, but it does have touch screen, and it turns out that the games work with that too.
So the question is, should we teach Ben to use a mouse, or will they be obsolete by the time he needs to use one ?
