Once they finished, students used Photoshop or Sketchup to create graphics that would serve two purposes: decorate their booth, and explain to visitors how their medieval group lived during that time. This part of the project took three days.
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.

Medieval Fair with Google Docs, Photoshop and Sketchup
The 7th Grade Social Studies students began this project by spending two days in the lab doing research. Team leaders from each group received guidelines from their teachers by accessing the teachers' shared folders. From there, the team leaders used Google Docs to share the documents with their team members and then proceeded to complete the research.
