Hmmm...
These words might annoy many students, both past and present, but it doesn't have to be so. We can incorporate new and fun ways of learning or teaching our vocabulary words so it is more beneficial for all. One method is to use technology to assist. What better way that to illustrate what you are trying to express with words by using pictures. This will engage more students and allow us to reach many that we might not otherwise be able to. One example would be to simply show matching pictures to go with each vocabulary word as it is introduced on your smart board, PowerPoint, or even printed handouts you developed on Microsoft Publisher or equivalent software. There are so many things we can do with technology to assist us in this and other challenges, we just need to be creative and willing to try new things within our classrooms.
So, as you can see.. technology can aid with building vocabulary words, but it is also a helpful tool you can apply during your read alouds.
How will you use technology in your classroom to maintain your students' attention?
