Re: Teaching kids to login

More | Report Post

I have K-6 lab classes. We rarely need to use the CTRL/ALT/DEL keys
combo and even more rarely in 1st grade.

Our log in consists of a userid and a password. I keep the 1st grade
passwords very simple.

I make a laminated card (top line) and the password (bottom line)for each
1st grader that shows exactly what they will type on the userid line and
the password line.

I don't have the first graders log in until second nine weeks begin.
Before then we are learning terminology and doing Smart Board activities.

This last week was the first time I had first graders log in. We have a
25 minute class period. Two of them got logged in the first time. They
were so thrilled!!!
