A lesson plan that would be easy to plan but would benefit the students very much is a typing lesson. I would take my fifth grade class down to the computer lab and we would use a program designed to help students learn how to type quicker and more accurately. I would explain how to turn the computers on and go through the start button to find the program which we will be using. Then explain how the program works, then lets the students type away! I would answer any questions that they would have. The technology used would be the computers and the application that the typing games are on.
The website www.fsu.edu is used very often by Florida State students and it set up great. There a few rules to follow when setting up a website, and Florida States homepage followed them great. One rule is limit colors. You still want to have enough color to make it interesting but to much bright color would be over kill, this website only uses garnet, gold, and black the schools colors. With the exception of images. Another rule is "Keep Text lines short" this was followed very well because the click able links are only one of two words and the news/events are very brief statements. A third rule is "provide emphasis" this is followed well because there are main topic and headings in bold font or enlarged more then average.
Through out my education so far, when writing a paper i was always told not to plagiarize. Meaning I could not read something out of a book and copy it word for word into my paper. This taking other peoples work and calling it your own and it is wrong. I would teach my students about this and we would do exercises to teach them how to write with their own voice so they don't take others words. Also I would setup a lesson on how to cite your papers, when you do take small points of someone Else's work, you just need to give them credit for it.
