Very Basic computer skills

Hand on practice using computer

The school is fortunate to get two sets of new computers this year. With the permission from the principal, staff has decided to keep the old computer in the library room. We discussed that old computer is meant for students to at least use it to;

• Balance the use of mouse
• Put on and put off the power
• Name few parts of the computer
• Use Microsoft word to type few words

The above objectives were to help children able to use computer better in the higher classes. It is also to promote ICT at primary level, whereby it is expected to create interest towards ICT.

I taught class VI how to use it. In the first lesson, I just introduced name of few computer parts and how to on the power and shut down. Students were thrilled to touch it for the first time. I told them, they would learn to use it more in coming weeks after the LG elections.
