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.

Battle of the Books and Filemaker Pro
Some of the 6th Grade Language Arts students remotely accessed a Filemaker Pro database that was designed to store information for a contest. Once the students had logged on, they created records that were basically questions about the different Jerry Spinelli books they had read over the semester. Once this question database was compiled, the teacher was able to evaluate the individual students on how well they each completed the assignment, as well as conduct the Battle of the Books contest with 100% student made questions.
