chess computer course

-
For my course time on Wednesday I had an idea that I could achieve only partial. Presumably, the children were too young. It was the course with students from second grade. My idea was to learn to play chess with the children. This one needs a computer. But it is possible and an interesting alternative, Internet and PC with included here.

is first necessary to employ it with the rules. So that everyone can understand the information at his workplace, may the students a picture with the image of a chessboard procure, including figures. For this purpose, can simply enter the combination "pawns" in the Google image search. A suitable graphic (with coordinates) can be found on the first page of results. It is copied into a Word document or saved and then via the "Insert" "graphics" are inserted. Now let discuss the rules slightly. For the students, the task for each figure, corresponding rules to write down.

Once ground rules are understood can best learn everything else right in the game. This offers a chess version on playit.ch. The advantage: Wrong moves are impossible, since they are the computer will not be accepted. The Web has also often simple chess programs available as freeware for free download. So it is possible to let students play against each other.

a little idea for teaching

-
When kids are looking for specific images or information, the aim is often to celebrities of music and TV. This motivation can be exploited in computer lessons well. My idea would be the following: Each student is called a star, he finds good. For this musician, football players, film shows, .... is then a warrant can be made. This has included several points that are written by the teacher on the blackboard. These include for example: age, size, profession, special features, etc. In the end, even a photo to be inserted and the finished product is finally printed.

All necessary information must be understandable to have been found on the web. Helpful Links and helps the teacher gives further if desired.

children media literacy mediate

. About
threats relating to inappropriate content on the net I've written elsewhere. In addition, children on the internet but can still be exposed to further problems. Here and in all that relates to the Internet, media literacy is a good point. This concept is in its very meaning unfangreich. I would limit it at this point and following quote from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia:

'awareness of their own perception and ability to filter and competent analysis of audiovisual information with intent to . Critical and emotionally distant perception, mediation of format and genre knowledge "

following issues should be discussed with children, their perception of these critical areas of the Internet are trained:

- viruses and pests

information on such programs, opportunities protection against viruses through special software and careful surfing habits.

- Dialer

Certain Internet offerings may cost money, what to do when dialer programs were installed?

- Spam

Many emails were from people you do not know, or have been sent automatically. With their help commercial objectives are pursued and viruses spread.

- Search Engine

match search results from search engines often not an objective selection by human employees. Moreover, advertising can be switched before or alongside the search results that we have not recognized the same. Content of the web sites do not automatically true.

- Online Games

Some online games are not suitable for children.
