CCSS%20K-12%20Technology%20Scope%20and%20Sequence.pdf Josh Burker's Blog of Musings: Construct a Laptop Project Last school year I had Kindergarten and first grade students still asking me what the password was for their computer accounts, despite it being the end of the school year and their passwords being "k" or "1," respectively. Inspired by Amy Tiemann's Laptop Club for elementary students, I conceived a lesson that I worked on with the Kindergarten and first grade students the first two computer lessons of the school year. I hoped this lesson would encourage more independence during computer time. I started with photos of a MacBook keyboard from Apple's web site and took screenshots of the class and individual folders where the students save their work and inserted them into a photo of the MacBook's screen bezel. For the first lesson I used the SmartBoard and a NoteBook file that also had a picture of the keyboard. The next lesson concentrated on the important folders these students needed to know. With a colored keyboard and screen, I provided each student with a manila folder.
