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.

Researching Alcohol and Tobacco with Word and iMovie
The 7th grade students spent three days in the lab researching about the dangers of alcohol and tobacco by completing a webquest for each topic. On the fourth day of the unit, they were given two class periods to create a one to two minute iMovie that focused on one of the key questions that they needed to answer during the webquests. The students had to combine text, graphics and transitions (music was optional) to communicate their response to one of the key questions.
