Ideas for Getting started in the Computer Lab: THANK YOU JODI BECK!

K - 1 = Review computer parts, play Simon Says with the computer (I say a part the kids point to that part), Read Arthur's Computer Disaster by Marc Brown, Draw a picture of the computer and it's parts, 1st grade introduce power and volume buttons and create rules for tech

2 - 3 = Review computer parts, power and volume buttons, discuss and create rules for the tech lab, 2nd grade created individual posters with the computer parts and labeled them, 3rd grade created larger posters in groups of 2 or 3 with all of the computer parts labeled

4 - 5 = Review computer parts, power and volume buttons, discuss and create rules for the tech lab, go on an Anna P. Mote website scavenger hunt, they also participated in an online survey created by the fifth grade teachers that I have on our school website

 * Feel free to use flipsnflops.net for websites I use.
 * All grade levels love Netsmartz. It is a program that teaches strategies to "stay safer online." They have video presentations you can use to present the program, and then there is an interactive website the students can use.
 * I found this lesson and I plan to use it. It uses Google earth and Discovery Education. []
