This video series introduces middle school students to the concepts and skills they will need in technology-rich school and work environments. Drawing on common principles found in computer skills curricula, the series promotes participatory learning by presenting viewers with vignettes portraying a central problem. Students learn about computer applications as they “co-solve” these problems with the narrator.
