A good web site on how computers work

[Instan00dles]

For my work I have to put together a lesson plan for all ages on how a computer works, I already have all the sample hardware I just need a web site I can get some info off of. I already know how computers work it just putting what I know on paper, what I know could also be wrong and I dont want to be teaching these ppl the wrong thing. well if anyone can help me find a good site I would really aprechate it.

This isn't quite answering your question, but have you considered looking at a "A+ for Dummies" book? It might give you some ideas.

That might help, since I work at a library they might have one there, thanks.

Couldn't resist, it's actually really a site. It's trying to sell you a book though called yes you guessed it "How Computers Work".
