word processor

Word processing is basically learning how to create, format and edit a text. Word processor will most definitely need to be used in my classroom. I feel it is important to connect students with technology as soon as possible so they can learn. There are many ways I will integrate word processor in my classroom. Since I am working with the younger generation my students will not need to learn as much with word processor.  Students in my class will learn the basic of basically the structure of a computer, how to turn it on and off things like that. Then for word processor documents I can teach my students how to type letters, and numbers, how to write their names using a keyboard. When we learn all that then I will transfer to teaching them how to take pictures and place them on a word document, how to paint or use colors, how to form shapes, how to spell check information. I want my students to start young knowing these things so that when they do move up grade levels they will already be ahead of the game. I will also make some of these things become assignments to see how independent students are when it comes to using word processor. These are the main things I will use processor for, in my classroom it will not be used as often because I am working with the younger kids but even with that they can still start young and learn the basics.
