1. Fun with Virtual Field Trips
Virtual field trips are seriously a favorite activity year after year. When I can pack these activities full of learning, it’s a win-win for everyone!
Using the virtual field trip passport as a computer lab project is easy with an editable digital version for students to complete online. Or, print out the template for students to create their very own passport to take home and show off.
The best part of the virtual field trip passport template is, you can pair it with any book, YouTube video, Google Maps, or geography unit.
Or, you can even use the super fun Google Expeditions to take your students on any of the fun and exciting virtual adventures they have to offer.
Some of my favorite ways and times to use the virtual field trip passport include:
- multicultural days
- geography lessons
- paired with social studies units
- exploring holidays around the world
This exciting virtual field trip passport template helps students record important information during their travels including facts they have learned, things they observed, and even describing their favorite part of the experience.

2. Social Media Templates for Computer Lab Projects
As you probably already know, our students are all about social media! So, what better way to engage them in learning than with something they already get super excited about?
I love using social media templates for computer lab projects because I know they are a great way to get my students thinking creatively while working on writing skills at the same time.
Whether I use the digital template or the printable template, I know my students will be engaged and ready to learn.
My students love creating their very own social media posts about a variety of topics including characters from stories, a real-life person we are studying, an event that has taken place either fictional or in real life, and so much more.
I also love to put these creative social media projects on display in our hallway or classroom bulletin board. It’s a great way to show off student learning!
You can grab all 8 of these social media themed templates in the Miss Tech Queen TPT store to add to your computer lab projects right now.
3. Brochure Template
My students love any opportunity to get creative! So, when I tell them it’s time to create their very own brochure you can feel the excitement in the room.
I love using brochure projects in my classroom! They are an easy and creative way for students to show their learning. When I can engage my student’s imaginations, I know I will have buy in! They will give me their best effort!
My students have created brochures to show off their learning after a health unit, an All About Me unit, and geography units. The sky is the limit with these fun brochure templates.
To get my students even more excited, I encourage some role-playing. When it’s time to show off the brochures, I give my students the option to dress up in character and share their brochures as they “teach” about what they have learned.
Consider partnering with a younger grade level and have your students show off their brochures in small groups. You could even organize a “tour” for parents to visit your classroom and hear all about the learning going on!
Because I know you and your students will love this activity as much as my students and I do, I have a FREE digital version available for you in the Miss Tech Queen TPT store right now!
