A
Lesson plan that introduces students to the format
of an informal letter. The students will be asked
to type a letter discussing activities at school.
It will allow students to learn about alignment, fonts,
and spacing.

Desktop Publishing
-
a
binder
that includes all my classmates' biographies
and pictures. Here is my own
biography
and picture.
-
Desktop
Publishing - This is an assignment from one of my other
courses at CGPS. We also had to turn in our
philosophy of education,
but were encouraged to be creative. I designed
mine in the format of a menu.

Mirroring the binder created in my own class,
I have created a
lesson plan
using Desktop Publishing to create a booklet for my students.
The students
will be assigned to create a brochure about themselves
as a way of introducing themselves to their classmates.
At the end of this activity, they will all be printed
out and stored in the classroom. Here is an
example of my own brochure.

Excel - As a teacher it is
important to keep a record of all things given and
received by parents and students. Excel makes it
easy to set up charts and diagrams specifically for this
purpose. Therefore, I have created a
worksheet in Excel
that records which papers have been returned to school.
I have also converted this table into a
Word
document as well.

In this
Excel lesson plan, I am focusing on mathematical
skills. The students will create a worksheet that
will ask how many of each member (sisters, grandparents,
etc.) are in their immediate family. They will
first attempt to add this by themselves. Then,
they will be taught how to use the SUM formula in Excel
to check their answers. Another activity will also
ask them to compare totals and use subtraction formulas
as well. I have included a
handout that will be given to the students which
incorporates Print screen as an aide.

Power Point - This
slideshow
incorporates many teaching platforms. There are
bulleted slides used for a lecture, pictures for
clarification, animation and sound effects for
maintaining the students' attention, a video, and a quiz
for assessment.

Instead of doing a lesson plan with Access, I
decided to write a
reflection paper
after doing completing own skill document.
In this paper, I discuss my experience with it as well as an
integration activity I could mold into a lesson plan
for my students concerning characteristics of living
things.

Telecommunications
- Instead of meeting in class, for one session, we had
an online discussion using Tapped in. To prepare
for this discussion, we read a few articles on Donald
Schon's description of reflective practitioners.
Here is an
edited version of this transcript which is a
showcase of my contributions to this topic.
-
Telecommunications - Throughout the semester,
Blackboard was widely used to communicate between
classmates about questions about assignments, ideas for
lesson plans, and the general use of technology.
Here are some of my
comments I
have made throughout the semester pertaining to certain
assignments.

For my
integration lesson plan, I ask my students to become
pen pals with another student from a foreign
country using
Epals. Both my class and the other
will have a shared reading assignment to complete.
The pen pals will discuss elements of the story and
their reactions to it by using both email and
handwritten letters. This will lead into a
discussion into how their culture affects their
interpretation of the material and will hopefully spark
a deep interest in each other's cultural differences.
