Lesson Plan: Productivity Software



Description
 In this artifact my classmates and I made lesson plans using productivity software. I chose Excel because  I believe it is a vital tool for practical daily use and I want to incorporate use of it in early years.  Excel is compatible to many lesson plans because it combines the aspects of reading, writing, documenting, and math.  I used it for documentation and scientific process purposes in a third grade classroom.  I also made the subject matter literacy to show the importance of all facets. 

Evaluation
 Learning how to incorporate productivity software in lesson plans is important because it is often times overlooked when forming lesson plans.  Excel is an extremely useful program that needs planning to ensure smooth use in lessons. This supports my educational philosophy because it is incorporating many subjects in one and is intriguing to the kids due to the change in pace. 

Transform
 I generally prefer the use of paper and hands on material because that is how I learn best.  The more I open myself to new methods and ways to teach to different minds, the more I am interested in the use of productivity software.  My brother is much more free to experiment and express his thoughts in the computer world.  I am willing to use all mediums in my teaching so that students can learn in all ways.
