For the very young. Too much "drawing software" emphasis.
According to the introduction, many of the activities in this book were developed using a kindergarten teacher's projects. I'm disappointed because the lesson plans are for the very young. I teach 2nd through 6th graders computer skills and I find almost all of these projects too easy/young for the students. This is probably best for Kingergarten through 2nd grade only. Also, almost all of the projects require drawing software or Kid Pix. I only found about 6 projects that didn't use drawing software and 2 required greeting card software and 1 required calendar creating software. There were only about 2 that used word processing, and they were very simple. There isn't a variety of "everyday" programs used like I've seen in other Teacher Created books. I wish I would have know the age level and the extreme "drawing software" emphasis before purchasing.

Computer Activities A-Z
Computer Activities A-Z is an excellent interactive book that helps teachers devise lesson plans related to the computer. Lessons are devised according to letters of the alphabet and can be used in conjunction with letter learning. Each project is set up for a primary user and is easy to navigate. The template CD includes examples and templates necessary for success. This book is informative and fun. I highly recommend it for classroom computer projects and activities.

Computer Activities for the Classroom
This is a great book for the primary classroom teacher. The ideas are simple and easy for students to do. Also, all the activities are correlated into the curriculum. There are many extension ideas using great literature. Gives step by step directions which makes it easy to understand. The CD is an extra bonus that includes the templetes.
