Take Turns with Chess Clock

Take Turns with Chess Clock is the name of the resource I used in the Computer Toolbox of Kids Kaboose Domain. This source was found under downloads for ages 2-5 and ages 8 and up. This resource could be used in the classroom to help students learn how to take turns and share, especially while having fun. An easy program to use, just set the timer to the amount of time a child is allowed to have for a specific activity. This program would come in especially useful in the early grades like K-2.

2. Computer Connections: Inside and Out Lessons – Worksheets section

Computers Inside and Out – Outer Hardware Labeling Worksheet

Computers Inside and Out-Outer Hardware Labeling Worksheet is the name of the resource I used in the Computer Connections section of the Kids Kaboose website. This worksheet goes in conjunction with an explanation about the outer hardware of computers. I think this would be a great activity in the classroom, because kids seem to know a lot about what to *do* with computers, but not about the computers themselves. This simple lesson will give kids a working knowledge of computers and their parts.

Safe Surfing Guide Boards and Chat

This article gives good tips and advice about posting and chatting on the internet for kids. This article could be printed off, passed out, sent home and also posted by any computers in the classroom. A quiz could also be made based on the article. This is great knowledge for kids to have, since the internet can be a dangerous place for kids.
