The Story Behind This Book
When I went back to teaching, I could find no workbooks for teaching technology to K-5. There were how-tos, but not geared for students of that age group. So I decided to write them. I geared the books for parents with nominal computer skills, homeschoolers and lab specialists. It outlines the method I use in my classes that gets kids from the most basics of computer skills in kindergarten to Photoshop by fifth grade. I’m not surprised that the method works, and is now being used in school districts all over the country.
Praise and Reviews
This workbook is an excellent tool for the third grader. It is simple to follow, and each week's lesson builds upon the previous week's lesson so the kids are not intimidated by all of the tools at their disposal! They learn the fundamentals the hardware, plus key functions in many critical programs...Word, Publisher, Internet. The workbook also keeps it fun for a third grader..the "projects" are fun and many are seasonally timely...I love the Halloween/Christmas/Valentine projects that come home. My son has taught me a few things after using this workbook!!!! --Mother of a fourth grade studentAuthor Interviews
