A. After much research through Project Tomorrow, it is evident that student want to incorporate technology into their learning. It keeps them engaged, interested and makes learning fun. In addition to these things it also teaches them how to use new technologies and prepares them for a technological future.
B. Through my research of Project Tomorrow, students said that they wanted to use technological devices that they already have to aid their learning. As a teacher, I have no problem with students wanting to create their "Recipe Videos" on their iPhones. I also do not see a problem with students doing research or making Quizlet flashcards on iPads or other devices.
C. My hopes are that students will access these flashcards or videos on their technological devices outside of the classroom to practice their conversation and vocabulary.
D. These technologies can help to improve literacy and communications in many ways especially for this particular lesson. Using technologies in this lesson will improve vocabulary usage of the Spanish language and it will also open a gateway for students to communicate with Spanish speakers.
E. I want students to not just remember information to memorize for an exam. I want students to learn about other cultures and experience them. The final assessment of this lesson is the "Recipe Video". It will be necessary for students to use the vocabulary they have learned but they will not be assessed in a traditional way.
