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.

Radio Theater Script and Google Docs
The 8th Grade Social Studies students were divided into groups in order to present a play in "radio theater" format which explained different historical events that surrounded the beginnings of the Chilean or the American governments. During the first stage of this unit, the students researched their questions and wrote the script treatment and the actual script collaboratively in Google Docs. Once they finished, they downloaded their scripts as Word documents to photocopy for hard copy scripts. The students took six class periods in the lab to complete this stage of the process.
