Computer Smarts Try-It

1. Be Prepared (Fri. 1/22/10):

I read the safety pledge and signed it.

2. Finding a Favorite (Sat. 1/23/10):

Yahooligans.com was full of games but was not a search engine. Instead, I went to factmonster.com and learned about Emma Watson. I never knew she was born in 1990! Emma Watson is an actor from Harry Potter, and I'm a huge fan.

6. Computers and Work (Tues. 1/26/10):

My mom uses our computer for her PhD. She writes assignments and very long essays and then sends them to her professor. In work, she uses a computer to write lesson plans and keep grades and attendance. It makes her job easier because it's faster than writing it all down.

7. Computers and Play (Fri. 1/22/10):

I played this pop star game on gogirlsonly. It was really fun!
