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.

The Ancient Greeks, GarageBand and iMovie
Some of the 6th grade Social Studies students made a movie of a TV panel show about famous Greek leaders that they acted out and filmed in their classroom. The teacher used two cameras to film the presentation, so the students had to compare the footage from "Camera 1" and "Camera 2" in the Clip Browser and then select the best clip for the situation. Later the students added text and voice overs to clarify any points that weren't clear from the audio. Finally, they imported mp3's of the intros and outros that they composed in Garage Band. The project took five days to complete.
