Computer Concepts
It seems that everywhere
you look these days you hear about a new application for computer technology.
The speed at which computers have entangled themselves in every aspect of our
lives is mind-boggling. A student's ability to understand technology is fundamental
to success in the new millenium.
Computer
Concepts includes an interesting series of lessons which are designed to give
students a historical perspective on computers and to acquaint them with essential
information about large and small computer systems. Students are challenged by
a comprehension check when each lesson is completed. In addition, a collection
of games and activities helps students build their computer science vocabulary.
Each topic is studied by examining a graphic shown in a diagram and then reading
a paragraph about the significance of each item.
