Integrated Unit on South America: This lesson includes information concerning database operations, word processing, desktop publishing, and spreadsheet formatting. Students will solve math problems.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Social Studies, Computer Technology Skills, English Language Development, and Mathematics); By DPI Integration Strategies.

Local Authors Database: Search through more than 200 authors in 15 minutes to answer specific questions. Add records and fields to an incomplete database.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills); By DPI Integration Strategies.

The Shark Net: A Discipline Database: The Shark Net is a database, set up by the teacher, where students keep records of all discipline interactions, of leaving the room, and of outstanding work. It includes fields for first name, last name, date, block, problem code, comments by students, time out, and time in. At two-week intervals students filter their records to calculate class participation grades. The class participation grade counts 10 percent of the total class grade. Students with the highest-class participation grades are rewarded with special activities such as ice cream parties, cookouts, field trips, etc. Students are required to filter and print the report for progress reports, report cards, and any time a parent/teacher or student/teacher conference is planned. This activity helps the teacher keep an accurate discipline record and to maintain discipline with minimal effort. It also helps the students understand how to use a database.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Guidance and Computer Technology Skills); By Calvin Evans.

Stocks Report: Students will create graphs illustrating changes in stocks and answer questions using the graphs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Susan Blackwell.

Winter Olympics: Inquiry into Statistics: Following the excitement of Olympic events, students are involved in an I-search http://www.avon.k12.in.us/hickory/pages/hickoryhome2.htm (click on Media Center then I-Search) activity that helps them develop question and search techniques. Their research provides them with data to enter into spreadsheets and display in graph format.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–12 Information Skills, English Language Arts, and Computer Technology Skills); By Carol Horne, Nancy Cowal, and Victoria Lunetta.
