[LM_NET] TARGET: ELEM: Computer Skills and Library in Early Elementary

[Martha Taylor <marliztay@MSN.COM>]

Thanks to all who have been writing about their experiences and expressing their 
opinions about teaching computer skills in conjunction with library lessons. 

However, I would like to hear from anyone with specific ideas for teaching 
technology skills to the very young, Pre-K through 2nd grade, as a library teacher. 
 

My schools do not not have a computer or technology teacher; classroom teachers are 
now being asked to enter technology report card grades.  They must find time to 
have students use the "Type to Learn" software to learn keyboarding.  I feel it is 
not appropriate for me to use library time for this.  I teach second graders use of 
OPAC, Kidspiration, some WORD and PowerPoint.  What about the younger ones?

Any ideas?  Great lessons?  Suggestions?  THANK YOU,

Martha Taylor, LMS
