Second - Fifth Grade Lesson Plans

Electronic Portfolios / Learning.com Introduction

·       Gardner Network Folders

·       Microsoft PowerPoint

·       Internet Explorer

Activities:
1)    Students will begin by checking their work area.
2)  Students will open their Electronic Portfolio Template and complete anything needed in slides 1, 4, 5, and 6.  We will then work on our reading project one slide.
3)  Each student will record themselves reading for 60 seconds.
4)  Each student will have their picture taken holding their selected book for placement on the reading slide as well as the audio file of their reading aloud from the book.
8)  The template will then be saved in their personal folder on the network for revisiting in another lesson.
9)  We will discuss Learning.com from EasyTech.  Each student will receive their individual username and password for the program.
10)     We will open the program and practice entering the program.  Students will work through the individualized lessons during the remaining class time.
11)     Each student will take a note home to inform their parents of the web site and how to access it from any computer with Internet access.
12)  Students will exit all programs and windows on their computer and prepare their “office station” for the next “employee.”
