HI Vern,
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.
You said that games are used by kids without encouraging them to learn, Do
you have any other ideas of activities that might encourage students to learn
about the actual hardware components and their functions ? Shouldn't kids
also know what the computer is made up of before basically and generally
before they know what the computer can actually do ? As this general
knowledge would be good to use when they are talking about computers, e.g
they would be able to use the computer terminology when their talking about
the computer. I think that it would be good for students to know where all
their work goes to when it's saved, so their not as niave as they were before
they started learning about computers.
What do you think ? I will appreciate your opinion as it will help me in the
classroom as a teacher.
Thanks Mary.
