Zoom in on Technology

Ask a child what a monitor is, how to send an email, or what "www" stands for in a web address and he'll look at you blankly. Although children are considered "digital natives" with the ability to call up in seconds whatever games, videos, or information they want, many don't understand the very mechanisms that allows them access to these things. This useful series takes readers through each of the most basic technological concepts step-by-step along with clear photos and illustrations. With a firm grasp on what URLs, computer networks, and keyboards are, readers will be able to use these tools more effectively. • Clear, simple explanations of the common forms of technology • Support elementary technology curriculum standards
