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.

Literary Terms and Premiere Pro

The 7th Grade National Spanish students had to identify various literary terms in the context of poems that they were reading in class. Once they had identified the terms, they made a movie where they used different styles to highlight the terms in the poem. Later, the students made the text scroll from bottom to top, added graphics and music. Then they exported the movie and dropped the finished product into their teacher's drop box. This project took three class periods to complete.
