Introduction

Click Start: Computer Science for Schools is a series of books for

classes 1–8. The second edition helps the students to understand and
further, update themselves with the fast changing field of information and
technology. Efforts have been made to sustain the interests of students
while retaining the pedagogic rigour of traditional learning. The activities
and exercises with multiple levels of challenges have been developed, both
to test the understanding of the topic and also extend this knowledge to
situations in everyday life.
The Teacher’s Manual consists of the Answer Key, Project Ideas and
Sample Test Papers. The Answer Key provides answers to the Exercises
given in the Student Book. Project Ideas promote individual learning as
well as teamwork and help the students develop an understanding of
importance of technology in our lives. Sample Test Papers can be used by
teachers for assessment work throughout the year. It improves learners’
study skills, and helps them to link theory with practice.
Today, our lives are driven by technology. Technology has changed the
way in which we perceive everything around us. It has changed the way
we work; carry out everyday chores and even the way we learn. Schools
and books are no longer the only channels to avail information; a vast
pool of information, data and knowledge is available at the click of the
mouse. More interestingly, with new advancements being made each day,
computer teaching also needs to be brought in sync.
The focus in teaching should be to promote ‘learning while doing’, that
is, the acquisition of knowledge and skills while doing things practically.
Teachers should be the facilitators of this process of active learning. They
should aim to equip the students with self-learning strategies than merely
providing them with information.
The author hopes that the teachers will be able to guide their students
through the course logically and purposefully, making best use of all
resources to achieve the stated learning objectives.
