That being said -- I had success teaching preschoolers how to use the mouse with an age-appropriate game.

I also felt that students gained by using the games "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" and "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego."

Answer 2

The Carmen Sandiego games, of course, were for older children. Also -- "Oregon Trail" was fun and educational.

Today there are many such games that teach students in an enjoyable way. Games are great motivators.
