[LM_NET] Hit: Computer Activities for Two

[Denise Lynch <lynchdenise@YAHOO.COM>]

There must not be too many people in my situation
floating around out there! Here are the hits I got on
my question about not having enough computers for
students in grades K-2. Thanks for all who replied. 


Hi!  I am just about to start a new position similar
to yours.  The librarian who proceeded me turned me
onto books by Winslow Press.  Check out the website.
http://www.winslowpress.com/librarians.cfm
The material is great and the accompanying website may
be just the thing you are looking for!  You can always
double the kids up.  I plan on having a timer handy
and calling a "SWITCH" when time is up so one kid
isn't allowed to domiante the mouse the whole time.
Good Luck!


With the younger students I pair them up on the
computer by one student at the keyboard and the other
on the mouse.  I find for the younger students it
really works well. 


Our school uses www.starfall.com and it's free.  When
I was in KDGN my classes loved using it.


Here's a idea for the keyboarding practice.  See if
you can locate some
old keyboards (maybe from some businesses or perhaps
parents might
donate).  The keyboard wouldn't be hooked up to a
computer but at leastthey could still be practicing
while their partner is at the "real"
computer.
