Computers. Most of our children have computers at home. Like my own children (13 &10) they were raised with computers and our my resident experts. But with my Pre-K kiddos, I teach them computer literacy and etiquette. I am fortunate to have 2 new flat screen dell computers in my classroom. Thank you ALC school board!
Simon Says - Let's Learn the Computer Parts
1. Introduce the students to the parts of the computer (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.) with an oral lesson.2. Reinforce the terms with a bulletin board display. I use flash card and pocket charts.
3. Have the students play the "Simon Says" (or use another term for Simon) game with computer parts.
Example - Simon says touch the mouse; Simon says point to the monitor; Simon says gently press the keyboard spacebar;
Simon says point to the printer in the room; Simon says click your nose like a mouse, etc.
