How May I Help You?

       Are your classroom computers REALLY kid friendly?   Can students easily click on icons to get to frequently used web sites?  Does your Microsoft Word program use a kid friendly font or make the students capitalize letters?  There are lots of little tricks to make classroom computers developmentally appropriate for elementary students,  There are also lots of little changes that can be made so a student can work independently at a computer.  I would be delighted to meet with you to help you create more kid friendly computers in your classroom!
