Technology Skills for Kids: Good Help Is (Not) Hard to Find

In this series of fun-to-read and easy-to-understand picture books, "Tech Wizard Mike" relates to children how to be more productive with their computers and mobile devices while staying safe online.

This book relates tech use tales that were based on actual tech help sessions. The names were changed and the appearances of the characters (except for Tech Wizard Mike) were left to the imaginations of the illustrators.

The illustrations in the Technology Skills for Kids picture books were beautifully and whimsically rendered by ten international artists.

Examples of positive and productive collaborations are featured throughout these books.

The importance of focus and methodical procedure are emphasized in each book.

Critical thinking lessons are presented in each book.

NOTE: Sally Book Bunny is a crossover character. She is also featured in the friendship books: Ziggy Wants to Know... Where's Chippy and Sally Book Bunny and the Search for the Lost Key.

Topics in this book include...

• clear goals for technology use
• well-meaning jackasses (not everyone knows what they are talking about)
• researching issues (expect the unexpected during technology use)
• "good eggs"
• positive collaborations
• knowing what you are using (e.g. which device, exactly)
