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.

Zorbas and Photoshop
The 6th Grade Spanish students used Photoshop Elements to create a poster which described one of the characters in a story they read in class. First they created a background with the gradient tool. Then they made a border by adjusting the settings for the brush tool. Next they added an appropriate picture for the character they were describing. Finally they made two text layers: one for the title of their document and a second for the description. Once the students finished, they used the save for web command which compressed the document so it was easier to send it over the network to their teacher's drop box.
