Fourteen technological concepts are covered: general technological awareness, keyboarding, network awareness, graphics, word processing, desktop publishing, databases, information systems, Internet/telecommunications, spreadsheets, programming, multimedia, video and electronic presentations. The program sells as grade-specific kits, or in the following combinations: K-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. Teacher Created Materials, Inc., Huntington Beach, CA, (800) 858-7339.
