LITTLE EXPLORERS scavenger hunt
Do a scavenger hunt using this Little Explorers Dictionary found at Enchanted Learning. The lesson can coordinate with concepts they are learning such as farm animals, bears, weather, fruits and vegetables, etc. Read the hint to them and they find the answer to the hint and click it in the dictionary. While doing the scavenger hunt, teach them how to use the scroll bar and the back arrow. It gives them practice in mouse control, etc.If you only have one computer, students could take turns coming to your computer to find the answers.

AIM Manufacturing Videos
Check out Jelly Beans and Chocolate videos. If you've ever wondered how things are made - products like candy, cars, airplanes, or bottles - or if you've been interested in manufacturing processes, like forging, casting, or injection molding, then you've come to the right place. AIM has developed an introductory website for kids and adults showing how various items are made. It covers over 40 different products and manufacturing processes, and includes almost 4 hours of manufacturing video. It is targeted towards non-engineers and engineers alike. Think of it as your own private online factory tour, or a virtual factory tour, if you wish.

Fact Flippers in PowerPoint
The Fact Flipper gives students a great way to publish facts and research on any given topic. The Fact Flipper is a PowerPoint presentation with six question slides and six answer slides, printed in handouts six per page. The first six slides on page one are the question slides and when they print, students cut around the two sides and bottom of each slide to form a flap. That page is then glued on top of page two which has the six answer slides. The student is then able to read the question and lift the flap to find the answer.

Click-N-Type Virtual Keyboard by Lake Software
Click-N-Type is an on-screen virtual keyboard designed for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard. As long as the person can control a mouse, trackball or other pointing device, he or she can send keystrokes to virtually any Windows application or DOS application that can run within a window. Click-N-Type is a 32 bit application that requires Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP or later. There are other virtual keyboards around but you'll find Click-N-Type the easiest to use for getting text into those uncooperative places like browser URL "Address:" fields, Email "To:" addresses, Email "Subject:" fields, dialog boxes like "Open" and "Save As...", and many other problematic applications. Try them all. You'll see they all work fine while typing into Notepad or WordPad, but when you attempt to do some real work, you'll get really annoyed really fast. Click-N-Type was designed with ease of use foremost in mind.
