Integrating TechnologyFor my lesson I decided to integrate technology by using the flex cam to show a poem on the projector.

Integrating Technology

Integrating TechnologyAfter displaying this poem about leprechauns on the screen, we read the poem together as a class. This choral reading was fun and non-threatening to thestudents.

What Went WellStudents were engaged.Students were able to participate by using the flex cam.

All the students were able to see the screen and the poem being projected.

What I Would do DifferentlyAllow the students more time to come up and point to their favorite parts of the poem.

Have different students come up and point to the words as we read them as a class.

Zoom in on words we are discussing.

Why use Technology?It was important for me to use technology for

this lesson because I needed a way for all the students to see the poem.

Before reading the poem, I was able to point out words that I didn’t think they would know by using the flex cam and projecting the poem and the word I was pointing to on the screen.

This also allowed students to come up and point to their favorite parts of the poem.

This caught the student’s attention because it was something different and out of the ordinary.
