The ETT Lessons are computer-based activities and projects created by teachers under the guidance of ETTs for students in grades K-8. Lessons use Kid Pix Studio Deluxe (K-2), HyperStudio 4 (3-8)*, AppleWorks 6 (K-8), iMovie (K-8)*, and/or the Internet (K-8). The lessons are available on the server of each school in EUSD as well as on the Internet for preview or use.

Lessons can be downloaded from the Internet and previewed on any computer that has Adobe Reader. Files can be opened with a Mac or PC assuming the required software is installed. You will also need Stuffit Expander when downloading from the Internet.

Each lesson includes a Teacher’s Guide and step-by-step Student Instructions. The Teacher's Guide includes an overview, standards addressed, vocabulary, technology skills addressed, materials needed, and a summary of the lesson's steps. Many lessons also include such items as a template, links page, and worksheets.

Lesson filenames use the following conventions (example given for a third grade lesson):

3BookCubes_TG.cwk (teacher’s guide)
3BookCubes_S_Inst.cwk (student instructions)
3BookCubes_ws.cwk (student worksheet)
