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.

Research with Online Databases and Google Docs

The 8th grade Science students accessed the EBSCO online database in order to gather information for their presentation on global warming. They also looked for information in Newsbank and SIRS. Each group created a bibliography document that they shared in Google Docs. The students also used Google Docs to take notes and collect images during their research. This lesson took four class periods to finish.
