Welcome to the MS Computer Lab Blog!
The objective of our blog is to share information about how we integrate our technology curriculum into the subject area curriculum. The foundation of this effort is the methodology of team teaching the lessons with the Middle School subject area teachers. Each post describes a particular lesson, the software used, some of the skills that were targeted, and the number of days that were spent in the lab.

Students gained practice with the navigation tools: orbit, pan, zoom, zoom extents and zoom window. Some students who finished early were able to import their own textures into Sketchup and customize the layers beyond the variety that the Sketchup materials library offers.
