My name is Steve Lee Ignacio. I have been teaching K-5 Computer classes since 2004.
Education - I have a Bachelor's degree in network communications, a Masters' degree in Educational Technology and I am a Microsoft Certified Professional, an Apple Certified Support Professional, and Comptia A+, and Network + certified.
Educational Philosophy - My educational philosophy is to teach a variety of technology skills across a range of standards based subjects. I prefer to develop those skills in project settings integrated with grade level classroom curriculum. I strive to develop skills in my students that are current, challenging, fun and relevant to their coursework and future studies in education and beyond.
Technology Lesson Plans Overview:
Kindergarten and First grade students concentrate on aquiring beginning computing skills with a strong focus on developing typing and word processing skills. Students will learn to change font sizes, styles and colors as well as Insert, size and position clipart, add page borders and print documents. Students will also explore their creativity with the KidPix art program.
Second graders will utilize the foundation in typing and writing to expand into more diverse skillsets including Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint slide shows, internet research, comic creations, and continue their development of word processing and typing proficiency.
Third graders will combine multiple skillsets to complete a long term (8-9 weeks) "City Wild Life" project. This key project challenges students to research facts, collect images, name, store and manage filesets, create title art in PowerPoint and record their voice to create a narrated slideshow. Students will work with a variety of applications including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, PhotoStory and more.
