Integrating computer technology into a third grade literature program : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This paper involves developing computer activities for students that are to be used with a third grade literature program at Crichfield Elementary School in LaPorte, Indiana. Activities are created for ten third grade-reading books that will be used by four third grade teachers. The lesson plans are designed for the teachers to have the students work in the computer lab and utilize Microsoft Works and Kid Pix. Most plans are to be used without Internet access. Two give instructions for Internet use. Any third grade teacher to integrate more computer technology into the classroom can easily adapt these activities.
