We want to think of our 5th grade students as really grown up when it comes to technology, but they do still have a lot to learn. Sure, they basically came out of the womb holding a device, but that doesn't mean they know how to use them responsibly or to learn anything. I put a focus on internet safety with a long term project, and then also have them create things with technology that pull in the other subject areas. The end result is some amazing learning!
So, I created these 5th 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.
- Access to either MS Office or Google Apps products.
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

This 5th 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.
