Technology: Introduction to Computers/Parts of a Computer

I came across some really nice resources for teaching parts of a computer or for beginning technology classes:

For Younger Students:

• Lesson: What do the parts do?

A nice little pictured lesson the parts of a computer (kind of old school though)

• Tracking Down the Computer Parts

A picture of an actual computer system is shown, student shows where the parts that are listed are; also includes worksheet and a jigsaw puzzle

• Checkpoint!

A matching/diagram worksheet for the parts of a computer

• Parts of a computer, another set of matching worksheets
• Enchanted Learning’s Computer Theme Page – worksheets
• Getting to Know Your Computer

Simple lesson plan with computer diagram and cut outs

• Ideas for Computer Lessons Just for Fun (Grades K – 5)

• Drag and Drop Activity (now this didn’t work on my computer, but including it just in case its just on my side). You could still use it in other ways, though.

Inbetweens and older:

• Computer Basics

Neat set of lessons and hands on activities

• Computer Inside and Out (Kids Domain)

Lessons and worksheets

For Older Students:

I came across this from a link from Free-Ed.net:
