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.

Save the Planet, Ecology Project

When the 6th Grade students were not on their outdoor education trip in Lagunillas, they were working on two tech projects and one was the iMovie ecology project. The students spent seven days researching in the EBSCO online data base for an environmental problem and some possible solutions. The movie that they created was supposed to show the problem, and promote the solution. The students used still images, transitions, text, background music, and recorded their voices on a second audio track to fulfill the tech requirements for this project.
