So Much Success...from a First-Grade Database Project!

Peck, Jacqueline K.; Hughes, Sharon V.

Computers in the Schools, v13 n1-2 p109-16 1997

Describes a project in which an inquiry approach to learning and teaching in an urban first-grade classroom resulted in a student-created database. Illustrates how computer integration in reading/language arts instruction caused students to participate more in group inquiry, using their individual abilities to contribute to group projects; it also helped students organize information, keep records, and present findings.
