Introduction

Step 1: Call to AttentionTeach students your attention call. This call should be used at the beginning of class to get attention and any time when the students are working and you need to bring them back together as a whole group.Choose one of the following, and practice it with the students.• Clap or snap in patterns, and have the students repeat the

pattern back to you.• Sing or play a song or rhyme.• Say, “If you can hear me, put your hands on your head. If you

can hear me put your finger on your nose, if you can hear me...” etc. until all the class is listening.

• Say, “Class class” and have the students repeat back in the same tone and rhythm you used to show they are listening.

Step 2: Review Rules and ExpectationsUse the provided presentation to introduce the rules of the creativity lab. Refer back to them often during this lesson.Talk about what they see (mouse, monitor, keyboard).Discuss proper chair positions (no tipping chairs, staying near the desk).Students should:• never touch another student’s computer• pay attention to the teacher• and follow instructions.

Step 3: Starter Say: Welcome to the Creativity Lab. We are going to learn a lot about computers and technology this year. Let’s learn about the lab! Pass out login cards.

Lesson

Step 1: Show HowLook at the computer login screen and the keyboard. (Younger grades will need extra help to be able to find the letters of their login on the keyboard.)Show the example of the login card.Show the students how to login correctly.

Step 2: Practice TogetherHave the students log in to the computers. If students have issues, have them re-enter their login. If there are still issues, work directly with students to make sure they are entering their login correctly.For younger students you will need to be extremely patient. Not all will get logged in the first try. The goal is to have each student successfully log in, but it may take a lot of practice for some.

Step 3: Independent PracticeHave students practice logging in and out of their accounts. When finished, have the students log out of their computers. Remind them to clean up and leave their work area cleaner than they found it.

Wrap Up

Step 1: Review StandardHave students recite some of the rules.

Step 2: Have students rate themselves daily on I can...Help students reflect on the login process by rating themselves on a scale answering this question:Was I able to log in successfully to my account?

1. I was never able to log in to my account this session.2. I was able to log in to my account once during the session.3. I was able to log in and log out of my account more than once

Introduction

Step 1: Call to AttentionRemind the students of your call to attention.

Step 2: Review Rules and ExpectationsReview the lab rules as outlined in weeks 1, 2, and 3.

Step 3: Starter Say: Today we will be practicing using the mouse and the keyboard to create a project in a program called Pixie.Pass out login cards.

Lesson

Step 1: Show HowHave the students log in on the computers. If students have issues, have them re-enter their login.Once they are logged in, have students locate the Pixie icon on the dock and launch the application.Using LANSchool or the projector, show the students the tools available in Pixie. Specifically point out which tools require them to click and drag the mouse and which require them to type keys on the keyboard.Demonstrate for the students the proper way to sit up straight and tall in their seats when using the keyboard. (Don’t worry about showing proper keyboarding fingering and technique at this point with these young students.)

37

Step 2: Practice TogetherHave the students explore the tools available in Pixie. Remind them to practice:• how to click and drag with the mouse when using paint and

shape tools, • how to click on the left side of the mouse when using stamp

tools,• and to use the typing tool and explore where the letters are on

the keyboard.

Step 3: Independent PracticeCall the students to attention. Ask them to erase their Pixie screen and create a new picture that includes the following:

1. Something they had to click and drag to create (like paint, markers, or shapes)

2. Something they had to click to create (like stamps)3. A text box with their name typed in it

Walk the room to check student work. Choose a couple of students and print their work to show to the class later. Have the students show their work to a table partner.When finished, have the students properly quit out of Pixie and log out of their computer. Remind them to clean up and leave their work area cleaner than they found it.

Wrap Up

Step 1: Review StandardShow the class the couple of sample Pixie projects you printed earlier. Have the students point out where they used the mouse and the keyboard to create the project.

Step 2: Have students rate themselves daily on I can...Ask students to rank themselves on a scale of 1 to 3 using their fingers:

1. I was not able to get into the Pixie program on my computer.2. I was able to get into Pixie and use the mouse, but I need

more practice using the keyboard.3. I was able to get into Pixie, use the mouse, and type my name

using the keyboard.

Step 2: Review Rules and ExpectationsReview the lab procedures and expectations.

Step 3: Starter Say: Today we will be using the Creativity Lab computers to log into our CSDDocs account and create a Google Slides project. Please log in to your computer with your first.last name (refer to the log in cards) and your student number as your password.Hand out login cards.Wait for everyone to log in to the computer.

Lesson

Step 1: Show HowUsing the projector or LANschool, demonstrate for the students how to launch the Safari or Chrome application from the dock. Then type in the Web URL drive.google.com.The website should open Google Drive, which should send them to a Log in screen. Demonstrate how to log in to Google Drive using the student CSDDocs login ticket. You could log in using the account of an absent student or have a student from the class demonstrate with his/her account.

40

Step 2: Practice TogetherNow have the students open Safari or Chrome and go to drive.google.com and log in using their CSDDocs login card. (Note: It is best to have every student use the same web browser, so instruct them which one you would like them to use so they are all on Safari or all on Chrome.)Give the students a chance to log in. If anyone is having a problem, ask them first to retype their log in. If the problem persists, type it for them and see if the problem is with their accuracy in typing (it almost always is). If this does not resolve the issue, submit a help ticket. This can be done by emailing the student’s full name and student number to helpdesk@canyonsdistrict.org using your Canyons District email. Once the students are logged in, have them click the red “New” button and choose the yellow “Google Slides”. This will open a new tab where their document will open.Tell the students to not close or “X” the Google Drive tab.Give the students 5-10 minutes to explore and create something new in their Google Slides Document. Allow students to help one another navigate the features of the document. Move around the room while they explore to offer help and answer questions.Stop the students after about 10 minutes and regain their attention.

Step 3: Independent PracticeHave the students close the browser and have only the desktop visible.Have the students open Safari or Chrome and go to drive.google.com again. If they can see their “untitled document” in their Google Drive, have them give a thumbs up to their neighbor. Walk around the room to see who has successfully done so.Evaluate who may need extra help in future classes. Be sure to take note and follow up next time you see the student.

Wrap Up

Step 1: Review StandardAsk students to log out of the computer and return their log in cards to you.Once all students have logged out and all cards have been collected, students should begin the self evaluation, asking the questions shown below.

Step 2: Have kids rate themselves daily on I can...Ask: What is the name of the place where your new document is stored? They answer: Google Drive.Have students rate themselves on the following statement: I was able to successfully log in to my CSDDocs account, create a Slides document, and see it again in my Google Drive.

1. I was never able to log in to my CSDDocs account. 2. I was able to log in, but I could not open a Slides document. 3. I was able to log in and open a Slides document, but I never
