Technology Lesson: Diphthongs

By Angie Jack

Learning Objective

• Students will know and be able to identify the diphthongs ew, ue and au, aw.

Reflection

• I feel the lesson over all was very fun for the kids, however, it was a little hard to contain their excitement over the new technology.

• More experience and management techniques could help prevent this problem.

Principles of Effective Technology Integration

1. Students use technology* The students were able to use this technology. They could actively erase

to see the diphthong.

2. Technology is essential*The technology was not essential. This task could have been done in a

different way. I just felt that this would make the task more interesting and memorable.

3. Focus on learning objective*The technology was focused on the learning objective. The students were

able to obtain the desired objective.

4. Added value*This powerpoint took a great deal of time to create, however, it can be

used again and again in the future. It will be worth the effort in time. The students really did enjoy the experience.
