2nd Grade Technology Lessons and Activities

I am completely biased, but 2nd grade is my favorite group in the computer lab. They are starting to become independent on the computer, but are still totally sweet. They are so excited to try new activities, and that makes me excited to teach them. I am really proud of the activities I use with them and I think you will love them too.

So, I created these 2nd Grade Technology Lessons and Activities for the entire school year that will make a great supplement to your technology curriculum. These lesson plans and activities will save you so much time coming up with what to do during your computer lab time. They are ideal for a technology teacher or a second grade teacher with mandatory lab time. All of the work is done for you!

What you need in order to use these lesson plans:

- Laptops are ideal (PC or Chromebooks) because a lot of the lessons require a flash browser. I suppose that Macs are also totally fine if you can download a flash browser. 

- A class website (doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a place to store the links) or learning management system like Edmodo, Google Classroom, etc. The website links need to go on a password protected page. Another option is to make a desktop shortcut that links to the site. Another option is having students access it once and then save to their favorites. What I am getting at here is that there are lots of options that all protect the digital copyright.

Each lesson or project includes:

-a rationale page

-an editable lesson planning page

-a web page with linked prompts, directions, and activities

-a video for the teacher for how to use all of these resources together titled "start here" in your download folder

-Unit cover pages for a binder if you want to print out these plans

Enough to last you the entire school year!

This 2nd Grade set of lessons is also part of a larger bundle of K-5 technology lessons. I made a Frequently Asked Questions blog post about it, which you might find very informative.

I also offer a free technology teacher email course. It is 5 parts and walks you though how I do my planning and collect data.
