In this very basic computer class, a student and parent will work together to practice using a computer mouse and a computer keyboard. During class we will watch a computer basics video, try clicking the mouse, try clicking and dragging to make some lines on the screen. They will work on typing letters on the screen. We will end class with a few games that are available to practice these skills.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class will require a parent to be sitting with the child. It is important that the student have one on one help in clicking and finding letters on the keyboard. Since all computers are different, you will need to help your child adapt to your device.
Supply List
Each student will need a device that has an external mouse and a keyboard. A track pad can be used but is not the focus of the lesson. Each parent should put a small sticker on the mouse on the "left click" button. If you are not sure where to put the sticker, just have it with you.

I have been teaching on Outschool since April of 2020 and am an elementary school educator who knows how to create hands on activities which empower thriving children of all ages.
I specialize in providing a vast variety of hands on activities that promote the value of social and emotional intelligence as well as the importance of showing children their potential. There is not always a right answer in learning, children thrive in all different ways and I find great joy in helping them discover their gifts and talents.
Over the course of 25 years in the classroom, I have taught 1st grade, kindergarten through 3rd grade media literacy classes, and kindergarten through 5th grade computer application classes. I have also tutored kindergarten through 5th grade students in all subject areas and am TESOL certified. I am an advocate for children and believe in helping them to reach their potential, while understanding all of our minds think differently. Being able to discover how each person finds success is such a gift.
I am a proud owner of Boomer, my Labrador Retriever. He loves to be by me all the time and wants to be part of my teaching. Pets bring such joy and unconditional love, that it just seems natural to involve him in my classes. He has a lot to teach and learn!Reviews
