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.

Renaissance and Dreamweaver CS3

The 7th grade Social Studies students created a website that explained the beginnings of the Renaissance. They used a Dreamweaver template, which they duplicated and customized to satisfy the lesson requirements of a thesis statement and three supporting arguments. In the end, students created four different webpages, all with text, graphics and a navigation bar. The navigation bar had rollover buttons and links which connected all the pages to one another. This project took about four visits to the lab to finish.
