Teacher Guide

TechnoKids Computer Curriculum technology projects are lesson plans and resources for teachers to integrate computer skills into curriculum. TechnoKids Computer Curriculum is divided into six categories: Primary, Junior, Intermediate, Senior, Camp, and Teacher. Each category contains a set of technology projects designed to teach a range of computer skills using a variety of software. A technology project contains detailed lesson plans to integrate technology into curriculum using a project-based approach. A teacher guide is a manual, in PDF format, that contains all the necessary instructions, preparation information, learning objectives, tips, and trouble shooting help needed to teach the project.
