Description

Innovative Google Docs or Microsoft Word Lesson Plans

Create a fan club newsletter using Google Docs or Microsoft Word lesson plans. Students in grades 6-12 master essential word processing skills such as formatting text, arranging and cropping images, adjusting page layout, working with tables, adding hyperlinks, referencing information sources, and inserting headers or footers. Challenging enrichment activities support hands-on learning with optional assignments that explain how to work with images, create a collage, co-author an article, or engage in an online discussion.

Project-Based Course to Integrate Technology

Following easy step-by-step instructions, students construct a professional-looking newsletter on a topic like a fan club, environmental issue, social science theme, novel study, or any curriculum area. Samples to inspire student creativity include a fictional celebrity club, an Amelia Earhart interest group, and an informative recycling magazine. Blend STEM skills with any subject area or personal interest. Other suggested newsletter topics include a school events newsletter, book club, historical figure, travel destination, science discoveries, and more.

Word Processing Made Fun for Middle and High School

Ignite the interest of students aged 11-18 as they create a newsletter for a target audience. Teach advanced word processing skills – reference sources with footnotes, numbering and page breaks, change layout, adjust spacing, use lists to organize information, scale and align objects, and there’s so much more!

Scaffolded Learning Journey

Students begin by critically examining sample newsletters. They formulate a plan using guided questions. Then they create the newsletter by writing an article sharing personal insights, building a word search, and crafting an opinion piece to defend a viewpoint. Finally, they share the publication with readers, inviting constructive comments and compliments.

View All FAQ

How long does it take to teach a course?

Every course includes a schedule. It lists the time recommended for each assignment. Typically, it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete an assignment depending on the grade level. Based on this time frame, a typical course takes between 360-600 minutes to complete. This is about 6-8 weeks if your students have computer class twice a week. However, if your students have computer class every day, a course can be completed in about 2-3 weeks.

How do I decide which assignments to teach?

You may not have the time to teach an entire TechnoKids course. The good news is that TechnoKids offers flexibility. Many courses can be shortened by omitting assignments or lengthened by including skill reviews and extension activities. You can easily adapt the course to suit your schedule. Refer to the Ideas for Implementation section in the teacher guide for suggestions.

Does the course integrate into other subjects?

TechnoKids courses are inter-disciplinary. This means the lesson plans blend computing skills with general content areas such as language arts, geography, or business studies. If you do not have a dedicated digital literacy class, refer to the Technology Integration Suggestions section in each teacher guide for ideas on how you can include the course in other subject areas.

Is the course a subscription?

Yes. When you purchase a course, you have access to the instructional materials for 12 months. After that time, should you want to continue, you will need to renew the subscription.

Is the course online?

Yes. You must sign into TechnoHub to access the course content from your bookshelf. The teacher guide and student workbook for a course are available online only. However, resources such as assessment tools, handouts, course slides, templates, and samples are downloadable.
