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.

Poetry and iPhoto, Word and GarageBand

The 6th Grade Language Arts students began this project by writing poems in Word. To those documents, they added photos that they edited in iPhoto. Later they recited their poems in GarageBand and exported them as podcasts. Finally, the students uploaded everything to their teacher's wiki. This project took four class periods to complete.
