🖱️ Scruffy’s Digital Journy — Mouse Skills

Hi, I’m Scruffy. When I first sat at a computer, the mouse felt strange. I didn’t know how to hold it, and I kept moving it too fast. Sometimes the pointer flew across the screen, and I thought I’d never get it right. But Christopher, the Digital Champion, showed me step by step how to use it.

🌀 Step‑by‑Step Guide: Basic Mouse Skills

✨ Scruffy’s Reflection

At first, I clicked too hard or too slow. But Christopher reminded me: it’s okay to practice. The mouse is just like learning to ride a bike — wobbly at first, but smoother with time. Now I can point, click, and scroll with confidence.
