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.

Un Cuento, Word and Indesign
The 7th grade National Spanish students used Word and Indesign to create an eight page booklet about a story that they wrote. The story had to begin or end with a phrase that their teacher gave them at the start of the project. First the students typed the final draft of the story into Word, and changed the language to spell-check their document. Later, the students copied and pasted their text into an eight page booklet template that they configured in Indesign. The students created a title page, page borders, body pages with their text and graphics, a drop cap, and a final page with their name and the date published.
