OVERVIEW:
In the elementary computer lab curriculum there is an evolving process based on available technology, the level
of use within the school and the grade level involved. The school curriculum will help them form a different
attitude toward computers and hopefully come to see them as a useful tool they will have throughout their lives.
They will be able to identify the parts of a computer and operate the keys necessary to use the computer as a
learning tool. Also, they will begin using computer applications for simple age-appropriate tasks. At the same
time they will begin to discuss ethical computer use. They should understand and demonstrate proper etiquette,
and body position when using computers.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
Due to the increasing demand in computer technology skills applied in day-to-day activities, the goal
of this course is to develop the basic knowledge and competencies. Among those skills the students
will:
1. Use and apply appropriate computer terminology.
2. Demonstrate proper etiquette in the use of computers and other technologies.
INTRODUCTION: Now the students are introduced to the concept of creating something brand new. A simple
drawing tool and standard word-processing program or text editor becomes the whiteboard for the students at
this level. They learn how to create and edit simple documents, and work their way up to actual class
assignments.
