What makes a good computer lesson plan?
Computer lessons need to be an integrated part of our daily curriculum… not a separate subject. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't teach computer skills but look at teaching them in a way that make it purposeful for students to see how computers are used to help in daily life.
Let's face it, most students access hundreds of different types of computers in their day to day movements. Whether they be the computer in their clock that wakes them up (which I have finally learnt to set correctly 
, to digital stereo in the car, microwave oven, ETPOS, cell phone, or the common garden variety Personal Computer. All these devices are computers of a sort and they accept them as such.
Most students think nothing of sitting down at a computer and playing a game or surfing the net today (age dependant of course) and so to teach the use of these tools as a subject really doesn't make any sense at all given that they are no longer a 'new' thing.
Your computer lesson plans should take a concept and apply it in a real world situation! If you take a Microsoft Word lesson like those in 25 Successful Projects for Word eg Envelopes and apply it by using the computer to address and print an envelope that will have a letter to the local Mayor placed in it about how much they like the new playground that has been donated. Then you have a lesson that is real, can be applied outside of school and teaches new skills all at the one time.
These computer lesson plans will work in your classroom saving you time and effort in your planning and teaching.
