POWER POINT PRESENTATION
I have chosen to introduce computer hardware to a young audience. I have named my power point "Mr. Computer - Basic Parts of a Computer". It is a simple presentation that is appropriate for kindergarten through second/third grade.
I seems logical that children should be taught the parts of a computer before going on to operating a computer . Each function should be explained and demonstrated. This lesson in a power point will enable the children to see the parts in action.
They can draw or print images of each computer part and develop classroom activities with them to enhance the power point lesson. They can create posters that label and define each part and be given handouts to match each part with its name as homework. This will reach out to all different types of learners. Teachers should go on to explain the monetary value of the computer and the need to handle technology gently and respectfully. This is a good lesson to learn before they actually operate the computer. The kids will be very excited to get their chance to sit at a computer, especially after their teacher took the time to explain everything in a step-by a step way.
I found this assignment to be the hardest. I really had no idea where or how to start. I read through all the links that were presented and scanned the internet for ideas. I think I got in all the components that are required.
I loaded the power point with tons of photos. I created several different backgrounds too. I changed fonts and font colors on almost every page. Getting hyperlinks and action buttons was a nightmare ( I put in many). I read and reread and reread the instruction and I could not get it. It took me at least 3 hours to figure out the page forward action button. I had a massive headache and I felt like a dunce. BUT I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! I had fun with a the applause sound and it is appropriate to the power point. My slides all move automatically with 5 second intervals except for the slides that require the student to think of the answer and then click the button forward. This is on mouse click.
I can't believe I actually got this from SlideShare to my blog. The instructions sound like jibberish!! LOL

I think the parts of a computer are very important to teach to young students. When I taught kindergarten I would teach the parts of the computer to them. Good topic choice.
