After School Program #3

This week we had the kids construct a short powerpoint presentation. On each slide, (which we set up the first few for them) they answered a question, such as their name, favorite food, favorite color, etc. We did underestimate them a bit this week. Almost all of the kids needed additional slides to create to fill the time, so the average powerpoint presentation was 7-10 slides! Again, these kids are kindergarten to first grade in age. It is amazing how proficient they are at navigating a computer interface, even though they still lack in spelling, grammar and speed with their keyboarding skills. It would seem that computers are almost intuitive to them and they have an almost innate ability to recognize how to navigate within software, limited only by their reading skills.
