By the third grade, students should have already been introduced to the basics of the computer and
how it works. The beginning of this hand out is a review for students. They should all know these
different components of the computer and have a general understanding of what their function is. They
should have also already been introduced to Word processing so the second part is to further their
knowledge on this subject. As they are reading through this section, the teacher should be doing a live
demonstration of these to help the student navigate on their own computer. The last section is about
how to properly use the keyboard. With every computer concepts lesson, students should be taking
time to practice their keyboard efficiency. They should have already been introduced to the basic keys of
the keyboard, but finger placement will be a new thing this year.
