Description
I have created brand new lessons to teach computer applications for a Digital Literacy or Computer Applications class. This lesson can be used in conjunction with my Digital Literacy Unit, or on it's own in any class where you are teaching basic Microsoft Office. These lessons are MICROSOFT SPECIFIC and are not designed for Google. They are not designed to prepare students for the MOS test as they are not comprehensive enough--they are instead aimed at beginners in 6-8th grade. But they can work in any grade. This lesson is a companion to my Information Processing Cycle, Digital Communications, and Digital Citizenship lessons, and designed to teach Strand 5 in the Digital Literacy class for my state. If you'd like to see what the strand includes, you can find it here.
This download includes the POWERPOINT LESSONS ONLY. If you would like the full unit, you can find it here. Each PowerPoint lesson includes a starter assignment, a key, written instructions, and a silent video key. The lessons are filmed in 2019, but will work fine in 2016, 2021, and 365.
Lesson 1 - Takes 1 45 minute period. It goes over the most basic features in PowerPoint in a practice format. Teaches layout, background, new slide, text entry, transitions, animations, images, shapes, 3D models, icons, copy and paste, tables, graphs, and bullets.
Lesson 2 - Takes 2-4 45 minute periods. This is the final culminating project. I suggest you teach it live, but there is a step by step video for kids to do it on their own or use as a reference to go back to. In this lesson the students create a maze game, using advanced features in animations and triggers to make the game work. This is a very fun assignment and my students love it! If time is short, you can actually skip Lesson 1 and most kids can pick up just fine on this lesson alone. This lesson requires students to think outside the box and use their programming brain. It's always a BIG hit!
All lessons are classroom tested!
