[LM_NET] responses to elementary Technology/ Word lessons

[Julie Ellen Gott <julgott@YAHOO.COM>]

Many people responded to my question about teaching young children tech lessons.
  I received many positive responses about fun-easy projects to do with the 
students using Word.  
   
  But I was told to not just do a Word/computer lesson in isolation.
  It is the best to work with a classroom teacher and integrate Microsoft Word or 
KidPix into the classroom unit projects.
   
  I am integrating a computer project in with a library lesson.  The students final 
project was to use word and insert clipart as well as their own photos.  They are 
loving it and learning by doing/trying...  A good suggestion was to have the 
students work with partners.  This is a good idea as I have become exhausted as the 
whole class needs help every two seconds....
  (and the computer lab is so hot from the heat of the computers!)
   
  I definitely am not going to be bringing the young library classes back into the 
lab anytime soon.   :)
