These lesson plans were conceived
at different times when there were different circumstances at my school.
I first had a few computers in my art room which I would use a timer and rotate
the children on the computers. We then developed a computer lab with 18 computers.
I would take my class to the lab and allow 18 students to work on the project
at one time. When this happened, we used disks and the children learned
how to save their work to a disk and return it to me at the end of the period.
I would check their work at my computer between class times and return the
disks to them at the next computer lab time, where they would continue their
project. Some plans do not reflect this in their directions. I assume you
will adjust these directions to your own situation and resources. As we recieved
color printers, I started to print color copies of finished projects. The
decision to make a color copy was my choice always. Check my technology resources
for extra hints
when working with your students on
the computer.
