Re: Computer Club
Posted by Kindernut on 4/14/08

    This sounds fun! I'm new to this board. I teach Kindergarten
    but am interested in starting such a club for our school -
    probably grades 4 - 7. Usually the younger ones go out for
    recess etc. I guess I think it would be nice to do a computer
    slide show for the end of the year school assembly or for a
    school "yearbook" type of thing. Any ideas? It would also
    be a way for me to learn as well. I have prepared a
    powerpoint for my parent night but that is it. One Also, my
    class does slideshows on KidPix again one a year so... I'm
    kind of getting excited! Any tips? THANKS
