Lesson+Plans

the New York Times has an extensive array of lesson plans in multiple curriculum areas with Technology being a part of the group. Many have to be abbreviated and altered for a sub, but are very directive and diverse, thus holding students accountable for a specific product which *often* eliminates random Internet searching.

One fun activity that K-12 like is Folktale in a Line. I usually use this when I have the students lined up - waiting for the teacher to return. I start the tale with something like: Once upon a time a princess was riding through the forest when... I then point to the a student in line (not necessarily the first one). That student has to add one sentence to the story. Then the next student adds another sentence. so on ... If the stories get too wild, I will bring them back, but otherwise, the kids become really creative.
