Introduction to Computers

Intro to Computers is for students with little or no computer experience. It is taught in eight class periods of two hours each and includes an Instructor Guide and Student Manual.

Introduction to the Internet and World-Wide Web

Intro to the Internet and Web gives students basic e-mail and web surfing skills. It is taught in two class periods, two hours each. Below are lesson plans for teaching navigation in the first class and e-mail in the second class, as well as doing it in the opposite order.

Typing

Typing introduces students to Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, as well as pointing out important key commands. It is taught in two two-hour classes during which much time is given to students to practice typing on their own. Below are the handouts PREP has used.

  • Class 1 Tips
  • Class 2 Tips (Important Keys)
  • Using Mavis Beacon
  • Free Typing Test: Very helpful for judging typing speed. Unfortunately, also contains lots of advertisements.
  • Typing: This is an excellent tool for teaching typing, especially to elementary students. The cartoon characters and noises keep students engaged. The only downside is that students cannot track their progress or take quizzes and tests.
  • Letter Chase Typing Tutor: Letter Chase Typing Tutor for Windows is a complete typing program for all levels. Letter Chase touch typing software runs on all versions of Windows and works on a network.
