Computers with K-2 students?

If you haven't checked out the other discussion I started, I'm starting my first year as a tech coordinator at a K-6 elementary school. I've got a lot of ideas and I'm excited to get started, except all my ideas seems to me like they're appropriate only for the 3-6 students. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the younger ones in K-2!

Any ideas?

Dean,

First thing - strive to understand what the K-2 folks is doing in their regular classroom on a regular basis by whatever means you have available.

Second, get your head around the new ISTE NETS-S, which rock:

Third, the draft student profiles are worth looking at:

Finally, you should RUN, do not walk, to:

For the best collection of curriculum-aligned, skill-specific, grade-level, reviewed and approved websites ANYWHERE.

Plenty of cool stuff to be done in Computer Lab this year!

Hope this helps!
