Another school year has come to a close

and...If you're like me, you are  already starting on lesson plans for next year.  Please know that I have fixed a couple broken links and will be working this summer to update the lessons and resources you find here.

For those of you using Microsoft Office 2010, all the lessons for the Microsoft will work, you will want to change any reference to the "Office Button" to read the "File Tab".  That's pretty much all that changed in Word, Access, and Excel.  PowerPoint is a whole nother matter!  That program is so great, with the 3d effects and the ability to save as a completed video file.

The classes I teach have changed a little bit so I will have new and different lessons that I will be adding.  I will be teaching Video Game Design and Visual Media Analysis and have several lessons already completed and just waiting to be added to this site.  I have taken over Yearbook...so tell any of your colleagues who feel overwhelmed by Yearbook to check out my link to an entire website ready to use in class!  I will be including it soon.  I also have website that I will link that you can use for the entire Digital Interactive Media or Digital Arts and Animation courses.

Please note that all of these lessons are not my own, but those that I have found and sometimes reworked to fit my needs.  I always try to give credit to the original publisher if I can find it.

Please share my site and visit often as new lessons will be added as I continue to set up new classes for this year. Join Teachers Pay teachers today to start selling your lesson plans.  Click Here to Start
