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.

Evolution, PollenPeepers and Google Docs

The 8th Grade Science students used an interactive PBS website to answer questions from a teacher made study guide that was made available in her shared folder. The students accessed the document and uploaded it to their Google Docs account and then shared the document with their teacher. In this way, the document is immediately accessible to the teacher, and now the student can simply focus his or her efforts on answering the questions before the assignment is due.
