Teachers' Page“Ready, Set, Learn the Alphabet” is designed to encourage exploration of the alphabet through the use of letters and pictures. Printable version of this page Procedures: 1. Teacher will introduce What Begins With…? on the large screen monitor and provide instructions for students. Students can use this activity as a learning center as they interact with the alphabet while learning basic computer skills. NOTE: At the end of the game, there is a smiley face. Clicking on that will bring the students to a website with another alphabet activity, if time allows. Once all students have completed this activity, move on to the Multimedia Alphabet Book. 2. Teacher will follow the link to open the Multimedia Alphabet Book file from the website. Save the document to your local H drive (home drive) and name it Alphabet Book. 3. Press the F5 key to view the presentation in Slide Show View. 4. Each student will be given the opportunity to complete one page of the book. After discussing which pictures will be eliminated, press Escape (Esc) Key and have students delete pictures which do not belong. (Use the undo key if the wrong picture is deleted) 5. Type in the students’ name. 6. Save the document after each student completes his/her page. 7. After all students have completed one (or more) slides, the file must be saved as a jpg to import into the PhotoStory 3 program. To do this, go to File, Save As and in the box at the bottom of the screen where it asks for the file type, choose JPEG from the choices.
