5th+Grade

Here are my lesson plans/resources for 5th Grade divide.

=Parts of of a computer= Business Standards - B.4.1, B.4.2 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.4.1

Through question and answer, I discuss with students the different parts of a computer, how to properly take care of a computer, and we review how to open and close a program.

=Touch Typing= Business Standard - B.8.5 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.8.1

Students improve their touch typing speed and accuracy through the use of the program Bernie's Typing Travels.

=Report Formatting= Business Standard - B.8.6 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.8.3



I have the students type up the Famous Americans Report and then as a class we discuss how to insert pictures, how to format/type a bibliogrpahy, how to double space, and how to create a table of contents.

In their classrooms, the students write a state report that they then use computer time to type. As they type their state reports, they apply what they learned when we typed the Famous Americans Report.

=WorldBook Online= Business Standard - B.8.12 Info & Technology Literacy Standards - A.8.2, A.8.4



Before the students start to write their state reports, I like to review with them what a great resource WorldBook Online is for them to use. To do this I use the Wisconsin Trivia worksheet which contains questions asking for information that they will need to include in their state report.

=Internet Safety= Business Standard - A.8.2

I use the website [|NetSmartz] to teach Internet Safety. We discuss telling a trusted adult if something or someone makes us uncomfortable, that peopel may not be who they say they are, not to share personal information, making strong passwords, online bullies, and digital ethics (stealing music, homework, etc.)

=Internet Maps= Business Standard - B.8.12 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.8.4



I use Google Maps to teach the students how to use an Internet program to find the distance between two places - both in time and miles. We also discuss how to use these programs to find businesses and other addresses in a certain city.

=Microsoft PowerPoint= Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.8.5

First, to refresh the students on how to use Microsoft PowerPoint, we create an "About Me" PowerPoint.



Then, the students complete a "Summer Vacation" project. The students complete the My Summer Vaction research worksheet. Then they use this information to create a PowerPoint about their vacation. At the end of the year, the students present their PowerPoints to their classmates.
