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.

Advertisements in Photoshop Elements

The 8th Grade National Spanish students spent three class periods creating ads for their online newspapers. Each student was required to make three different documents. Each document had a background, one or more images taken from other sources and text. Once finished with these psd files, the students had to export them as jpegs or gifs and make them available to be ultimately inserted into the online newspaper.
