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.

Landforms Around the World
The 6th Grade Social Studies students created a Powerpoint presentation with approximately 10 vocabulary words that dealt with different landforms like isthmus, bay, archipelago, and peninsula. Students created slides with a definition of each vocabulary word and then added a screen shot from Google Earth which gave an example of the particular landform. This lesson took two class periods.
