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.

Chilean Environmental Issues and Powepoint

The 6th Grade Science students did research on a topic related to the Chilean environment. They used a variety of sources, including Wikipedia, Google, and the EBSCO online databases to find information. Once they had information, the students built a powerpoint presentation, according to the teachers' rubric. Students who researched a native Chilean animal like the pudĂș or the vizcacha, were able to include a simple food web exported from Inspiration.
