Rules of the Road: Learning to Drive and Navigate in Technology:  1st grade students are learning how to drive and "navigate" the computers. Using the Read Aloud: Author's Computer Disaster by Marc Brown (view at home @ Speakaboos,) students learn the computer lab rules (ask about the chimes, "give me 5" and what to do if I need help.) They also identify the basic parts of a computer (headphones, mouse, trackpad, keyboard, monitor, screen, and doc,) and practice locating folders and websites on the network. Students are developing mouse/trackpad skills, mastering their ability to login to the school network using their assigned username and password close windows, and logout.

Vocabulary: headphones, mouse, trackpad, keyboard, monitor, screen, desktop, doc, icon view, list view, ghostbuster (preview), click, username (name), password, delete, login, logout
