Story Behind The Book
These workbooks are part of my real-life virtual classroom. I'm a technology teacher and not only use these workbooks, but wikis, blogs, internet start pages, everything I can to help kids learn faster and better. Visit my website at http://askatechteacher.com for more information.

I love this series. It shows exactly what to teach, when, so I don't try to introduce a tech skill too early (without the appropriate background). There aren't steps for each skill--I contacted the publisher before buying and I agree with them; there are just too many differing platforms out there. The important part was keeping tech fun by introducing only the skills they were ready to learn. <br /><br />The author often lists free versions of software if the user doesn't have the suggested version, or you can contact them for ideas. And, they thought ahead to putting the entire workbook in a three ring binder, making it easy to remove reproducibles for copying without ruining the book. <br /><br />BTW--lots of grading rubrics, samples, and a wonderful list of kid-friendly websites. If you're a homeschooler, this is a great resource.
