We strongly recommend that you review the plans at least a week in advance of your instruction to ensure that all links are active. These activities are designed to enrich the objectives of our county’s curriculum; the time in the computer lab is just one step in a series of activities that are described in these plans. Feel free to modify the plans to fit the needs of your class and your students’ abilities. The order you wish to teach the plans is at your own discretion, however there is a suggested order,  Book_4/SuggestOrderofLessons.htm which follows the 4th grade curriculum.

In addition to the lesson plans, you will find a Microsoft Office Scope and Sequence. This gives you a basic outline of the operations students should be able to complete by the end of each grade. The Tech Standards is a list of the Maryland Technology Literacy Standard for Students and the lesson plans that aligns with the standard. You will also find a list of the lesson plans and the VSC objectives with which they align.   We have also included a list of websites which we think may be useful to you, as teachers, for additional resources.  You may also want to share these sites with parents.

• Always check the links in advance! A Website may be down or a link may have changed.

• Familiarize yourself with the lesson before entering the lab.  Check to see if the worksheets need to be printed ahead of time, or may be used directly on line and saved to the student's number.
