Alan has developed a multi-tier curriculum for children
(ages 3 - 6 years). The curriculum covers both learning about
computers as well as learning through computers. The bulk of the
lesson plans are on the latter. This computer-based educational
service uses published software arranged in a scope and sequence
according to what children are expected to learn in the various age
groups.
In response to requests, Alan designed worksheets to be completed
on the computer. In the process of working on these colourful
worksheets, children will become more familiar and comfortable with
computers. Children will learn about choosing edit options from
menus, saving files, changing directories and exporting files in
different formats. More than 200 worksheets have been integrated
into the curriculum.
He managed and serviced 10 client-accounts (including clients from Penang and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Suzhou in China).
He also designed a management database for child-care centres and
kindergartens. The database has pre-templated forms that enable
users to enter data by filling in the blanks. Users will be able to
navigate easily ... switching from a main menu to sub-forms with a
click of the mouse. Sub-forms offer further options to select from.
The database also offers a quick lookup ... a child's particulars
and who to contact in case of emergency can be accessed through
alphabetical filter buttons.
