Description
Turn your chaotic computer lab time into a focused adventure! This Internet Explorer Scavenger Hunt is specifically designed for Pre-K through 2nd Grade students who are just learning to navigate the digital world.
Skip the frustration of teaching 30 students how to "find the internet" at once. This resource breaks down web browsing into bite-sized, visual steps, teaching students browser anatomy, basic typing, and crucial internet safety rules.
