Read Journeys in Technology - Operation Futurekids Lesson 1: "Log On: Pink PC"

Lesson One - The students are introduced to basic text and graphics features of desktop publishing as they learn to move, resize, and delete frames while creating a cover page for the projects they will complete during the unit. The pupils will then learn more advanced text and graphics skills to enhance their cover pages. 

Students will take a note home for their parents to introduce the Unit "Log On" and a rubric checklist of skills covered in the unit.
