1 Lesson Plan Course Title: Principles of Information Technology Session Title: Identifying File types, Purposes, and Extensions Lesson Duration: 4 hours Performance Objective: Upon completion of this assignment, the student will be able to identify a file type by its extension, choose an application to open the file, and identify the purpose of the application chosen. The student will be able to organize files within folders according to file type and purpose. Specific Objectives: Define application software Identify a file type by looking at its extension Identify the type of application software needed to open a given file Identify the use for a given application software Demonstrate how to create, name, organize, copy, move, and delete files and folders Preparation TEKS Correlations: (5) The student demonstrates knowledge of the different software associated with information systems. The student is expected to (F) demonstrate understanding of file extensions and the purpose of file types across software products; (H) identify appropriate use of application software; (L) demonstrate proper file management techniques such as creating, naming, organizing, copying, moving, and deleting files.

2 Identifying File Types, Purposes, and Extensions Test KEY Materials Needed: Copies of Notes Organizer, instruction sheets, and test Equipment Needed: Computer and projector for presentation Computers for individual student use Learner As a class, have the students organize themselves into like groupings (examples: male and female; grade levels; age). Then, have the students organize themselves into subgroups (example: main group is age, subgroups male and female). Note: the objective of this exercise is to help the students understand the need for organization and that there are several ways to organize the same information. Introduction MI Introduction (LSI Quadrant I): ASK, Have you ever gone to your computer to complete something you were working on and not been able to find where you saved it? ASK, You can t remember what you named it and you end up starting all over again? SAY, That s why it s important to establish a good folder and organizational system for your files. SAY, Have you ever opened a file and it was just a bunch of symbols? That s because you used the wrong software to open the file. Outline MI Outline (LSI Quadrant II): Instructor Notes: I. Students define and give examples of application software (slide 4) II. Students identify a file type by looking at its extension (slides 6-9) Instructor should use a computer and projector to display the presentation: Identifying File Types, Purposes, and Extensions. III. IV. Students identify the type of application software needed to open a given file (slide 10) Students are shown how to create, name, organize, copy, move, and delete files and folders (slides 11-15) Speaker notes are provided in the presentation to aid the instructor with the content of the slides. Hand out the Identifying Files Types, Purposes and 2

3 Extensions Notes Organizer, 1 per student, to aid them in note taking during your presentation. Activity #1: Also listed in guided practice below Reinforcement activity in which students identify file type and extension Hand out the Activity #1 Worksheet, 1 per student. Allow 15 minutes to complete. Review the correct answers and let students grade their own work. NOTE: Prior to this activity, create a folder containing various blank documents. Activity #2: Also listed in guided practice below V. Demonstrate how to create, name, organize, copy, move, and delete files and folders Hand out the Activity #2 instruction sheet, 1 per student. Answer key provided in lesson documents. Activity #3: Also listed in independent practice below Students will demonstrate mastery of lesson content Hand out the Activity #3 instruction sheet, 1 per student Answer key provided in lesson documents. Students will complete the review activity listed below in the Summary section. Place the students in pairs or groups of three for this activity. Students will complete the test listed below in the Evaluation section. Students will do this individually. Answer key provided in lesson documents. 3

4 Application MI Guided Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Activity #1: Students will practice by completing a worksheet identifying file extensions and types. They will also identify the file name and extension. Activity #2: Students will complete the tasks necessary to create, name, organize, rename, copy, move, and delete files and folders. They will take a snapshot of the screen, paste it into a word-processing document, and print for instructor feedback. MI Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Activity #3: In Part One, students will identify file applications, purpose, and types. In Part Two, students will open their folder location. They will create, edit, save, rename, and make copies of their files. They will take a snapshot and paste that into a wordprocessing document. They will print and submit to instructor for grading. Summary MI Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV): In pairs, have students ask questions of each other from the lesson note organizers they filled out at the beginning of the lesson. Evaluation MI Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III): Discussion comments during introduction activity Observation of note-taking during presentation of lesson Guided practice activities MI Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV): Activity #3: Application of all the learning in the lesson EXAM: Questions over file types, purposes, and extensions (answer key provided) 4

5 Extension MI Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV): Enrichment #1: Have students organize their files according to each class they are currently taking. Enrichment #2: Instruct the students to create simple files with creative filenames using various different software applications. Have them organize the files in folders according to type. 5
