Competency 10.4 : Goals of NC
Computer Skills Curriculum. Develop lesson plans to correlate computer
skills with other curricular objectives.
Competency 11.1 : Use technology
in the discipline/ subject for learning and as a medium for communications.
Competency 12.7 : Select and

to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction,
active engagement in learning, and self motivation.
Principle 8 : The teacher
understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate

continuous intellectual, social and physical development of the learner.
Context
These documents were created in the fall of 2001 in the Technology
in the Classroom class.
Document One is a week’s worth of lesson plans based upon the second
grade math curricula of money and the integration of computers into that
curriculum. I used The Learning Company’s Reader Rabbit’s Math CD-ROM.
I accessed the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Web Page
to access the Competency Goals for Second Grade. (http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/)
I also used the Mailbox Magazine for activity ideas.
Document Two is an evaluation of the Reader Rabbit’s Math Software.
Impact
These lesson plans incorporate computer software into math curricula.
As a teacher, I will have to integrate all subject areas with one another
along with computer software into the classroom. It is important
that I adhere to the NC Standard Course of Study into what I teach along
with providing activities where students can facilitate learning on their
own. As I teach I need to be able to monitor learning through assessment
whether informal or formal. My students will benefit from the many
different learning tools made available by use of computer software.
Alignment
These lesson plans accomplishes Competency Goals 10.4
, 11.1 , and 12.7
,. and INTASC Principles 5 and 8
As a future NC public school teacher, I will need to incorporate computer
software into my general classroom curricula. This lesson plan will
help me to facilitate that need. It will also help me to create lessons,
where students can learn on their own, in areas of their interest.
This document also allows for assessment in various forms allowing me to
determine where the class needs to review.
