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.

Short Story Review and Dreamweaver

The 8th grade Language Arts students used Fireworks and Dreamweaver to create a website that reviewed five different short stories that they read during the year. Each page had a short summary of the story and a rating. Many students used Google Docs to compose the content of the site for homework, while they worked on the site design during the day at school. This lesson took five class periods to complete.
