Description
This bundle includes a full 4-12 week unit on Microsoft Word 2016 (also compatible with 2013), for grades 8-12. The lessons are designed to teach Microsoft Word in-depth, and also follow the requirements for the MOS test, preparing them to take and pass it. These plans are customizable and can take anywhere from 4 -12 weeks depending on how you teach it.
These lessons are designed to keep students working in a self-directed manner as they find the answers themselves through video tutorials. This method has proven more effective in long-term retention and investment in their own learning. Students first assess their prior knowledge, then practice each feature many times. They learn each feature by watching that section of a searchable video, which shows them how to do the feature but does NOT take them through the assignment. In this way, they find answers for themselves and work out how to do the work on their own as they work at their own pace. Then they create an application where they apply what they have learned in creating a document such as a menu, brochure, newsletter, etc. Finally, they do a post-assessment to determine if they have truly learned all the skills in that lesson.
The applications are engaging and applicable to students, and keep them interested in the lesson as it progresses. Students can measure their progress through pre and post assessments. Each lesson includes a practice section and an application, as well as a solution video. Solution videos silently go through the entire assignment from start to finish. They can be great for a teacher reference, as a resource for students who are falling behind, and for students who have special needs or need additional accommodations.
My students used this lessons, then practiced using GMetrix, then took the MOS test. They found the GMetrix practices incredibly easy and had no problem passing the MOS test. There is also a unit exam included which tests as a written and as a practical. Study guides and a practice quiz on Socrative are also available. This system ensures that students can learn—and REMEMBER—this program in a relatively short amount of time.
