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. I’m not surprised that the method works, and is now being used in school districts all over the country.
Reviews
I am just thrilled with the workbook my son Myles is using in computer
class. It is well organized, easy to follow, and loaded with great
techniques and homework assignments! I highly recommend it to all 5th
graders who are learning the ins and outs of computer technology.
