An Introduction to Computers

Students in elementary school often have little to no experience with computers, but that doesn't change this fact: It's more important than ever to understand how computers work and how to use them. Nwaiwu Ifeanyi Princewill, who holds numerous degrees with a technological focus, explores why technology is an integral part of daily life and why students need equal and adequate access to it in this introduction to computers. After reading the book, students will be able to: • identify the parts of a computer and what they do; • demonstrate the correct use of input and output devices to operate a computer; and • use a search engine to navigate the internet. Computers can be a powerful learning tool that can make a measurable difference in student achievement and get them excited about learning. They can even promote better interactions with each other and teachers. Whether you're a teacher, family member or friend trying to help a young person learn, you'll find a roadmap to challenge and engage students with the second volume of An Introduction to Computers.
