Elementary Lesson Plans for Tech Integration

CyberBullying Report

Picture
In this lesson elementary students create a PowerPoint presentation over the basics of CyberBullying.  There are 3 links that students will need to visit to find information (they are included in the assignment).  I like to have the links up on Moodle or a site like that, so students can click on them, rather than having to type them manually.  This activity will take approximately 1 hour to complete, depending on ability level.

Holiday Glogster Project

Glogster is an online, interactive, digital poster-maker.  It's a free tool and works great in the classroom.  For this assignment, students create a poster about their favorite holiday.  However, if you're looking for something else, the assignment could easily be changed to support a variety of learning activities.  If you've never used Glogster before, here's a tutorial.  But for the most part, it's pretty straightforward and user friendly.                           [ Lesson Download Link ]
