Kids Tech Talk

Internet Safety Brochure Tech Talk

Jackson A. 5C

The 5^th grade of PES did an Internet Safety Brochure. They used Publisher and Inspiration. They used Inspiration for an outline and then they put it all together on Publisher. They made a brochure talking about Internet Safety. I learned how to make a brochure in Publisher and I learned some Safety rules for going on the internet. I liked that we got to use tools in different computer programs.
