early elementary
By Webmistress

If you have PCs, I would suggest getting them started on the paint program. Under 'Start', 'Accessories'. It's A LOT of fun and gets the kids used to the mouse, task buttons, etc.

Start by introducing the line tool, then the rectangle tool, then the ellipses. At the end of each lesson, let them create a 'masterpiece' on their 'canvas', then have each individual move from station to station to view the creations of others.

Hope this helps.

You may also want to sign yourself up to Classroom Connect's K-2 listserv which focuses on technology in the K-2 grades. Lots of tips, lots of sites, and lots of great members.
