I explain to IT exec based in Taiping which is Nor Azna, Siti Salwa, Zuli Mazliza, Kamariah and lead IT faci Mr Sharizal about how I conducted my class before. I informed them that, teaching sequence very important because can help to plan their lesson before class started.

Then we're both agreed to prepare few sample's accordingly for standard 1 untill 6.

Because there are to many sample's to do, I ask help from Nor Azna from SK Permatang Raja, Habsah from SK Kalai and Farhah from SK Mohd Arif Abdullah. Habsah, Farhah and Nor Azna did sample for MS Word and MS Power point for standard 1 until standard 6. While I find freeware, online education games and prepared sample for MS Excel for standard 1 until standard 6.

I found a lot of freeware for kids, then I did the selection and divided it into few categories.
1. Programing - RoboMind and Scratch

And I also found good education games for younger kids.
