Story Behind The 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. Iām not surprised that the method works, and is now being used in school districts all over the country.

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Although a veteran teacher, I just began teaching computer tech. last year. This series gave me a template in guiding me toward what students should know and at what appropriate age they should know it. I have successfully used many of the lessons, tweaked some of them to fit my particular needs, and also used them to reassess some of the lessons I had been provided or created myself. It has been an invaluable tool and provided greater confidence in knowing that I am on the right track in what I am doing! In my particular situation, students come to me from a different teacher or different school the previous year, so there is not necessarily a smooth flow in skills, however this series has helped me to teach the students (and a few adults along the way) many of the basics and has helped them become more independent in their use of technology.</span>
