===//**For my final project**//, I'm going to focus on vocabulary development in the early grades and how to incorporate technology into this activity. First, I like to preface that vocabulary acquisition is fundamental to reading comprehension. Without an understanding of a word meaning, comprehension is futile. Having stated that, I am going to model a lesson incorporating activities for teaching words to beginning first graders.===

**Second:**
===The children will listen to a story on line, using our Smartboard and ask the children to listen for the words. After each noticing, I will pose the story and ask if they figured out what the word means. We will do this for all five words.

Using Notebook I will create an Alphabet grid as a word collector chart to place each word into the correct letter box.===


 * Fourth**: After we puzzle out the meaning, each child will record one of the five words in context on [|Audacity.]


 * Fifth**: When each child has the word committed to memory, I will take pictures of each child acting out the meaning of their word of choice and put i the pictures on [|Animoto.]


 * Finally:** Each child will blog about their word on [|Edomdo]


 * Assessment:** The assessment piece is using the word inn the correct context.
