The use of technology as a learning tool can make a measurable difference in student achievement, attitudes, and interactions with teachers and other students. Students are more challenged, more engaged, and more independent.
INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN
This lesson should be introduced at the begining of the school year. It is designed to be used as a part of teacher directed lessons in a computer lab. Following the lessons presented to entire classes in the lab, students will be able to complete the activities individually or in small groups. The activities will provide students the opportunity to develop and/or reinforce the skills presented during the lessons. Although students will complete the activities at different paces depending on their level, the teacher should set a reasonable time limit.
