During 1996 and 1997 the children prepared work for Internet pages using a wordprocessor and this was cut and pasted onto web pages for them. Now children from 3rd to 6th Grade are creating pages by themselves. Each class has one computer lesson a week of approximately 45minutes. There are 8 classes from 3rd to 6th Grade. Each class has 26-30 children and there is one teacher and 18 computers in the lab.
Children expect to be able to save and retrieve files.
Skills mastered by some but not all children Windows 95 is new to most of the children this year. They are still learning about using two or more applications at once, and how to read the task bar. Our network has a different method for logging in this year. The children MUST enter their class code as they log in so that their work will be saved to their shared class directory. Children must select their class directory when saving.
