Empower children to express themselves with an All About Me slide show. In TechnoMe, students celebrate their own unique characteristics. They use a Google Slides or PowerPoint template to create an All About Me presentation. The mini biography outlines personal details, accomplishments, goals, and interests. Upon completion, students share their slide show with a friend to compare how they are similar and different. This is an excellent way to enhance self-esteem, foster relationships, and develop fundamental technology skills.
Creative About Me Slides for Grades 1 – 3
Students use a digital fill-in-the-blanks template to make a presentation to show what makes them special. Activities are perfect for ages 4 – 8. Use the provided additional extension activities for students to build a family tree, puzzle, or Venn diagram.
Ideal for the Beginning of the School Year
Get to know your students. Innovative and imaginative educational materials include a teacher guide, assessment tools, templates, sample files, reproducible worksheets, parent letters, certificates, and program flashcards. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions are ideal for primary students.
Boost Technology Skills
Integrate language arts and social studies with technology. Primary students create a slide show highlighting fun facts, likes, and personal goals complete with pictures and animations. They learn keyboarding skills by working with text, format images including adjusting size and position, and apply transitions to add interest.
Benefits of All About Me Activities
Develop essential life skills. Students build self-esteem by reflecting on what makes them special. They foster new friendships as they recognize that their peers have similar interests. In addition, the activities build a sense of community as students share personal details and form connections with each other. Also, as they present their projects, students build oral communication skills. They practice public speaking and active listening.

All About Me lessons are an ideal way for children to develop self-awareness, accept differences in others, and build relationships. The activities are completed using a Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides template. This supports beginners with limited keyboarding and computing skills. This project can modified for older students by customizing the template with additional About Me slides using provided resources.
Every course includes a schedule. It lists the time recommended for each assignment. Typically, it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete an assignment depending on the grade level. Based on this time frame, a typical course takes between 360-600 minutes to complete. This is about 6-8 weeks if your students have computer class twice a week. However, if your students have computer class every day, a course can be completed in about 2-3 weeks.
How do I decide which assignments to teach?
You may not have the time to teach an entire TechnoKids course. The good news is that TechnoKids offers flexibility. Many courses can be shortened by omitting assignments or lengthened by including skill reviews and extension activities. You can easily adapt the course to suit your schedule. Refer to the Ideas for Implementation section in the teacher guide for suggestions.
Does the course integrate into other subjects?
TechnoKids courses are inter-disciplinary. This means the lesson plans blend computing skills with general content areas such as language arts, geography, or business studies. If you do not have a dedicated digital literacy class, refer to the Technology Integration Suggestions section in each teacher guide for ideas on how you can include the course in other subject areas.
Is the course a subscription?
Yes. When you purchase a course, you have access to the instructional materials for 12 months. After that time, should you want to continue, you will need to renew the subscription.
Is the course online?
Yes. You must sign into TechnoHub to access the course content from your bookshelf. The teacher guide and student workbook for a course are available online only. However, resources such as assessment tools, handouts, course slides, templates, and samples are downloadable.
