IT for Kids - Book 2

The IT for Kids series provides teachers and students with a whole school IT Teaching and learning program. They address key IT skills in accordance with seven technology competencies:

• computer operations
• graphics
• word processing
• the internet
• email
• spreadsheets
• multimedia

Each unit is comprised of activities that either introduce or reinforce a skill, and which can also act as a springboard for further lessons.

As student ability levels may differ significantly, the books can be used either prescriptively, as a grade-based program of teaching and learning activities, or flexibly by combining one or more books to provide remediation or extension as required.

Each book contains:

• A skills scope and sequence chart.
• A programming guide and assessment checklist for teachers.
• Self-assessment checklist for students.
• Teacher Focus pages that specify essential background information, skills to be taught, vocabulary applicable to the lesson, tips and tricks, and a suggested lesson procedure.
• Photocopiable student activity worksheets, both theoretical and practical, with accompanying extension activities.
• A double-paged assessment based on Bloom’s revised taxonomy, and including appropriate higher order thinking task.
