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.

Microcuentos and Premiere Pro
All the 8th Grade National Spanish students wrote a microcuento that followed the rules of the literary contest, Santiago en Cien. Once finished with the writing, the students then recorded their stories at home and brought them to school. In the computer lab, the students imported their recordings to Premiere Pro projects and added text, graphics, transitions and effects to create a movie version of their microcuento. This project took five class periods to complete.
