=[|Ideas from Lee First Grade]=
 * Computer Lesson Ideas**
 * Microsoft Word**
 * Type up Spelling/Vocabulary words and practice copying and pasting, changing font size and style.
 * Ask students to begin a story and type 2 sentences. Kids move around the room to different computers while adding a couple of sentences to the story already begun. Rotate several times and save in the common folder. Teacher could use a projector in the classroom to show stories and edit as a group.
 * Practice inserting Clip Art for a new topic you are introducing ( Example: spiders, ants, ANY picture). Students can type a paragraph on all that they know about the subject.
 * Students can also use MS Paint and draw an object, a self-portrait, etc. They could insert this picture into MS Word and write a description or story.
 * Microsoft Excel**
 * Create a spreadsheet of grades and teach averaging using the computer.
 * Create a spreadsheet of number of different colors in an M&M bag or any bag of candy.
 * Create a spreadsheet of eye color/hair color in the class. Be sure to make your data into a graph.
 * Microsoft Publisher**
 * Students can create brochures. Templates are already created.
 * Endless Templates with LOTS of ideas. Such as: Certificates, Banners, Calendars, Newsletters, Flyers, etc.
 * Microsoft PowerPoint**
 * Using PowerPoint students can do a book report. The slides could be 1. Title 2. Characters 3. Setting 4. Conflict 5. Summary
 * Research a city/state/country and create a slide show of information learned. 1. City/State/Country 2. Population 3. Historical Facts
 * Create a PowerPoint to show steps for completing a math problem. Example- Long Division, Word Problems, etc.
 * MS Paint**
 * Draw a picture of someone famous. Insert the picture into MS Word and type up clues so that others could guess who their famous person is.
 * Draw a picture that summarizes a book they are reading.
 * Draw a picture of anything and print. Give picture to someone else in the class and have that person type in MS Word a description of what they see.
 * SmartNotebook**
 * SmartBoard does NOT have to be hooked up to use this software. EVERY computer in the school that has been imaged has this software.
 * Use with Math and have students create problems for a neighbor to work out.
 * Students love using the Gallery pictures. There are THOUSANDS that go perfect with almost any classroom lesson.
 * Thinking Maps**
 * Use to do prewriting and split the screen to type the story.
 * Movie Maker**
 * Create a movie of a famous person, digital story telling, book report, field trip,etc.
 * Calculator**
 * Use to introduce computer/calculator symbols ( +,-,*, / )
 * Go to View on the calculator and choose Scientific to teach these skills.
 * Show students how to minimize/maximize the calculator to use with other programs.
 * Microsoft Works**
 * MS Works has word processing, database, spreadsheet and LOTS of templates.
 * This is similar to MS Office programs but we usually teach kids MS Works when using databases.
 * Database uses include: collecting data on a state ( population, state symbols, cash crops, etc), collecting data on athletes ( shoe size, age, weight, college, points, etc)
