Although this original lesson is geared towards man vs. woman stereotypes, this can be adjusted to fit a lesson on computing stereotypes. As a class, you can come up with different stereotypical sentences and then pin a balloon next to each statement. After the class recognize why the statement is wrong, pop the balloon to symbolize the stereotype vanishing. This lesson is a fun activity that will keep students interested in the lesson, especially if you allow them to hel pop the balloons!]]> 2021-12-10 18:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940875283 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940877173 2021-12-10 18:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940877173 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940878127 2021-12-10 18:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940878127 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940930347 Dr. Monica Burns is an EdTech consultant and professional development facilitator passionate about the power of thoughtful technology integration in our classrooms. 
She hosts events and workshops, has a podcast, wrote a book, and even offers some free resources on this website that will help teachers effectively use technology in the classroom. 
With this resource teachers can stay up to date with changes in technology and how we can continuously provide the best resources for our students relating to technology. 
However, her posts are not limited to technology. She talks teachers through many other aspects of being in the classroom and how to constantly show up for your students.]]> 2021-12-10 18:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940930347 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940990161 This is another resource that requires you to sign up for their website and subscribe to a monthly payment plan to access their full materials. 
However, they have a multitude of resources and topics that relate to the multiple categories within the business discipline. Without a membership you can still see the different topics and when you click on a lesson plan you can see the learning objectives and course standards, which can still be helpful for developing your own lesson plan. ]]> 2021-12-10 19:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1940990161 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1941040459 This fun excel project where students calculate cost of a birthday party is a great way for students to stay engaged in class material and have some fun with what they've learned on excel. This I believe would be best for 7th or 8th graders.]]> 2021-12-10 20:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1941040459 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1941189835 I used this worksheet for a part of my coding lesson plan in this class and thought I would share the whole worksheet with you all. I believe this worksheet is a helpful guide to understanding what python functions do when you enter them into the program. 
I suggest pulling up https://www.w3schools.com/ to type in the functions and show the students how to get an output and then you can check answers together as a class. ]]> 2021-12-10 23:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1941189835 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1942273979 This lesson aligns with research-based teaching practices as it focuses on the importance of student's posture and finger placement as they are learning to type. As the article from week 7 states, "Maintaining proper hand and finger position with the fingers on home row or guide keys is crucial to the development of keyboarding skill." ]]> 2021-12-12 03:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1942273979 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1942282340 This website offers lessons fit for kindergarten students all the way through college and even offers modifications for students with disabilities. Although the different topics don't have specific written out lesson plans for day by day teaching, this website still offers great information for teachers and has different worksheets and presentations for them to use. ]]> 2021-12-12 03:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1942282340 crystalgeiger https://padlet.com/crystalgeiger/kz1zgqdwav1mkcwf/wish/1942288564 This lesson plan scores highly in teacher accessibility, equity, and content.
