ZPS COURSES

“Computer Lab Management”

A curriculum is a plan of what students will learn in school. It includes:

  • Subjects and topics to be taught (like MS Word, Internet, Paint, etc.).
  • Skills students should develop (like typing, creating slides, using Excel).
  • Activities and assessments to check their understanding.
  • Time table or schedule for teaching each topic.

Note:

Curriculum = What to Teach + How to Teach + When to Teach

Lesson plan for practical topic:

 A lesson plan is a step-by-step teaching plan that shows what the teacher will teach, how the students will learn, and how learning will be checked. It serves as a roadmap for the teacher during the class.

Purpose:
The main purpose of a lesson plan is to ensure that the teacher teaches in a clear, structured, and goal-oriented way. It helps the teacher stay on track and manage time effectively.

Key parts of a lesson plan:

  • Topic – What is the lesson about?
  • Objectives – What should students know or be able to do after the lesson?
  • Brainstroming– Brainstorming questions are simple questions asked to get students thinking and sharing ideas before a lesson starts.
  • Materials – What resources are needed (e.g., books, computer, whiteboard)?
  • Introduction – How will you start the lesson and grab students’ attention?
  • Procedure/Activities – Step-by-step teaching method and student tasks.
  • Assessment – How will you check if students understood (quiz, questions, practical)?
  • Conclusion – How will you end or summarize the lesson.

 


Responsibilities During Each Lecture: 

  • Lesson Introduction (Announce the topic and share the objective of the lesson.)
  • Teacher Demonstration(Show the task using your system/projector with clear instructions)
  • Student Practical Work (Students perform the task while the teacher monitors and supports)
  • Monitoring and Classroom Disciplin(Watch for misuse of computers or improper behavior)
  • Lesson Wrap-Up (Ask oral questions, review the lesson, and assign homework if needed)
