Welcome to the last quarter of Computer Lit this 4th grade year!  We will end the year learning about the different hardware devices that work together to perform the 4 jobs of the computer: Input, Output, Processing and Strorage.  I hope you will have a better understanding of those cityscape circuit boards by the end of the year!

Lab will continue to sharpen word processing skills. Formatting a document and setting up documents for special uses (booklets, columns, tables) will be explored.

I will post test dates and other important reminders here. You can also find some handouts and reviews linked in this area. So check back a few times!

ADDING SOME STYLE TO YOUR DOCUMENT


Has your student told you about Code.org? Code.org is a website that introduces the fundamentals of programming to students.  In introducing coding, students also learn how to break down a problem and logically think of a solution-very good real world skills! 

Students are enjoying the challenge of solving problems on the computer--and then tweaking that solution to make it more efficient! Initally some students thought the coding was too hard. However, many a hooray was let loose as solutions were mastered!

No grade is given for the Code.org participation.  Students are allowed to explore as much or as little as they want. But I warn you success is addicting! Students may access Code.org at home as it is a website. In the address bar at the top of the browser, type in the address: code.org/join.  Students have a card with their log in and password. (If you need this information please email me.)  Invite your student to show you how critical thinking can be fun!
