Kindergarten & First Grade Lesson Plans

No School – Friday, March 21

Mr. Miller's Technology Lab Lesson Plans for Kindergarten - First Grade

Kindergarten and First Grade Students this week will be working on their Electronic Portfolios during the Technology Lab Class Times.

 Students will practice locating and opening their Portfolios from the Gardner Network Folders.

Students will:

1.     Click on "Start"

2.     Go to "My Computer"

3.     Select "Data on 'gardner' (F:)"

Students will also practice viewing and exiting the Portfolios. ("F5" key to begin the slide show and "Esc" to exit out of the show.)

 Students will practice viewing the various portions of their Electronic Portfolios and listening to sound files within the Portfolios. 

Remaining time will be spent working in Learning.com.  This is our on-line interactive technology training program.  Students may access it from any computer with Internet access by going to www.learning.com and entering in their username and password.

Kindergarten – First Grade with Learning.com

Students will:

1.     Students will begin by typing “learning.com” in the address bar.

2.     Students will enter their “UserName”
Most students – first name
Some students – add last initial or complete last name (no spaces)

3.     Students will enter their “password”
Kindergarten – blue
