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.

Chemical Reaction Lab with Google Docs and Excel
The 6th and 8th grade students worked together on a lab that examined how to speed up chemical reactions. Students worked in teams and wrote up their lab report drafts in Google Docs, which they were able to share and edit with their team members. During the actual lab, team members shared the responsibilities of recording their experimental data in Excel and revising the final draft of the lab report in Word. This project used the mobile lab for two days.
