Procedures
  First, we scheduled a meeting with our partner-teacher to find out the possibilites of our project. Once we found out what our project would be, we decided to use PowerPoint to make our presentation and ClarisWorks 4.0 to make our Bingo cards. We made our Bingo cards by looking on the Internet to find pictures of the computer, keyboard, and the mouse. We then made copies of the pictures, and then we cut them out and pasted them on our paper. We made copies of the paper onto some colored paper to make them more interesting. Then, we got them laminated. We made a time to meet Mrs. Mitchell and her class. We first presented and discussed the parts of the computer (computer, mouse, and keyboard) using our PowerPoint presentation. After we were finished discussing the computer parts, we played Bingo to see how well the students understood the information. After we finished, we talked with our partner-teacher and saw how well she thought we did.
