About this unit

In this unit children learn to search for information held on a CD-ROM. The children are introduced to CD-ROM as a means of storing large amounts of information. They are taught to use menus, indexes and key words to search for pictures and gather information.

Children will apply what they have learnt in this unit when using electronic information sources, such as CD-ROM and the World Wide Web, for other subjects.
