This site is geared towards anyone who uses computers in an
elementary school, but I believe it is worthwhile reading for any
teacher or student who spends time on a computer.
As our students work through their academic lives, they will
probably be spending some time on computers, and there
is no time like the present to begin practising "Good Work Habits,"
and learning about "Work Station Setup."
Using a combination of cartoon drawings, pictures, and
simple explanations, this site addresses the issue of student
comfort and ergonmics while working on computers, without
spending lots of money on fancy equipment.
There is additional information with case studies showing the
layout of mouse, monitor, and seat height, as well as a range of
accessories such as back pillows and foot rests.
Many middle elementary students will be able to read this
site on their own, do an analysis on computer workstations in
their school, and prepare a report on their findings.
