Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Lesson Plans:

Students will continue working with Learning.com at their own pace working through the curriculum designed for their grade level.  Students are only able to continue to the next lesson once they have mastered the current lesson assigned to them.

Students in grades 3-5 are also given a unit test upon completion of the last lesson in each unit listed below.  The students must score an 80% or higher on the unit test in order to progress to the next unit of study.

Students will be working through unit lessons on the following topics:

• Computer Basics

• Word Processing Basics

• Database Basics

• Keyboarding

• Visual Mapping

• Computer Navigation

• Spreadsheet Basics

• Word Processing

• Graphing in Spreadsheets

• E-mail Basics

• Presentation Basics

• Web Browsing Basics

• Database Searches

Standards Covered This Week:

Technology Foundation Standards for Students

1       Basic operations and concepts

• Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems.
• Students are proficient in the use of technology.

2       Social, ethical, and human issues

• Students understand the ethical, cultural, and societal issues related to technology.
• Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information, and software.
• Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity.

3       Technology productivity tools

• Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.
• Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works.

4       Technology communications tools

• Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts, and other audiences.
• Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences.

5       Technology research tools

• Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.
• Students use technology tools to process data and report results.
• Students evaluate and select new information resources and technological innovations based on the appropriateness for specific tasks.

6       Technology problem-solving and decision-making tools

• Students employ technology in the development of strategies for solving problems in the real world.

Performance Indicators

A major component of the NETS Project is the development of a general set of profiles describing technology-literate students at key developmental points in their pre-college education. These profiles reflect the underlying assumption that all students should have the opportunity to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, decision making, and daily life. These profiles and associated standards provide a framework for preparing students to be lifelong learners who make informed decisions about the role of technology in their lives.
