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.

I'm a fifth grade teacher and bought this book to find projects that would integrate technology into my classroom curriculum. What a find. There are projects that cover math, geography, history, science, writing, word study--everything I needed. Most of them can be completed in less than an hour and are fun for the students so they don't mind doing them. Along the way, students are learning valuable technology skills they'll take with them to sixth grade. It's also saved me a lot of time not having to develop grading rubrics or samples myself. Overall, a great idea for any elementary school teacher.
