5th Grade Technology Curriculum Subscription

Description

5th grade technology lesson plans and activities for the entire school year that will complete your technology curriculum planning. These lesson plans and activities will save you so much time coming up with what to do during your computer lab time. Ideal for a technology teacher or a 5th grade teacher with mandatory lab time. All you have to do is demo the lesson and then let students get to work! Save money by purchasing this in a Bundle for grades K-5

💻 What’s Included:

• ✅ A full school year of weekly tech classes: about 60 class sessions of click-and-go lessons and activities on the student website, with a class login
• ✅ An editable Teaching Guide in Google Slides (download it as PowerPoint or PDF)
• ✅ Unit overviews with key vocabulary
• ✅ ISTE 2024 standards on every lesson, plus CSTA, Texas TEKS and Common Core in the lesson checklist
• ✅ A lesson checklist to track your year, with spaces for dates taught and notes
• ✅ Homeschool Setup and Homeschool Adjustments pages

A Teaching Guide for the whole year. Every grade comes with an editable Teaching Guide in Google Slides. It opens with a Year at a Glance, Standards at a Glance and student login steps, then gives you a plan for every lesson: why it matters, the I Can statements, the lesson flow (matching what students see on screen), what to prep, tricky spots and ideas for support and extension. Make your own copy to edit it, print the pages you need, or keep it digital.

Homeschooling? The lessons work at home as written. Each Teaching Guide includes a Homeschool Setup page and a list of the few lessons that need a small change at home, like polling family members instead of classmates.

What you need in order to use these lesson plans:

• Laptops are ideal (PC or Chromebooks) because there are software lessons (Google and Microsoft versions) so students will need to have access to these programs.
• The Teaching Guide is in Google Slides, and you can download it as PowerPoint or PDF.
• Up to date web browser. The lessons have been tested in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
