Meriden Public Schools Adult and Continuing Education:
Technology-facilitated Lesson Plan (MS Excel)*
Teacher:
David Ullman, Business
Class/Level:
General Computer Applications
Lesson Duration:
20 minutes
Objectives (Learning Goals):
Learn how to create a chart in MS Excel.
Rationale:
Charts enable the user to portray information
in a visual manner such as trends and percentages. Students who
plan to go to college or those who plan to enter the workforce
will benefit from the ability to create such charts as they are
commonplace in today’s technological society.
Technologies Used:
Using MS Excel loaded into an IBM and projected
through a Panasonic SV20 projector I searched www.bargainnews.com
to create a list of cars and their prices. The list was used to
generate a bar graph comparing models.
Other Materials:
None
Learning and Teaching Activities:
After the lesson the students were given an
exercise to complete on their own using the skill they had just
learned in class. Later that week that were given a quiz that
tested this skill as well as other learned on subsequent days.
Evaluation of Learning:
Learning was evaluated through the exercises,
the quiz and through a test that is given that integrates all
the lessons learned.
