TECHNOLOGY

I believe it is best to first assess the needs of the children who will be using the computer.  Find out what skills they already possess.  Then go from there.  In Kindergarten I teach children the basic components of the computer and how to use them (mouse, keyboard, printer etc.).  Then I move on to the different software programs.

Here are a few websites to give you more insight into teaching Kindergarten children about computers:
