Here’s a great one semester lab course that covers the history of the computer, computer basics, Internet overview and building web pages with both HTML and Front Page. Students are introduced to Internet research opportunities, free resources and great Internet sites that support learning in the core content areas. The Creating Graphics Unit is engaging and practical; the last unit provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned in several performance assessments. A pacing guide lays out the components of each lesson, and daily lesson plans reduce teacher preparation and provide creative instructional strategies that have been lab classroom tested. Class notes are provided in a PowerPoint version that powerfully illustrates each instructional step for students and are also available as overhead masters. This course is to be taught on a Windows 95, 98 or XP platform, with Front Page software. A variety of other software programs are accessed through demo or trialware at no cost.
