Technology Integration

• Rationale– Teaching Spanish includes teaching the language, geography,

culture, and history. This presentation focuses on teaching the geography of Spain, which is one of the first countries taught to students learning the language. Through technology, students can research the country, the different cities located in the country, and attractions that can be seen in each of these cities. Since students are auditory or visual learners, this presentation will help them to get a better understanding of the country through videos, pictures, and audio. They will also gain a more realistic view of the beauty of the country through these videos and pictures.
