Students used Google Slides to highlight and sort main ideas and supporting details. Spider-Man, Black Widow, and Batman benefited from color-coded templates and visual icons, while Wonder Woman created an extension slide analyzing theme across a nonfiction article about a global leader. Technology supported kinesthetic learners through digital drag-and-drop interactions and visual prompts, maintaining accessibility and student agency. To ensure proper use, expectations for digital collaboration were modeled and monitored via Google Classroom.

Students completed a digital vocabulary sorting game using Wordwall, matched emojis with new words, and created virtual flashcards on Quizlet. ELLs used visual dictionaries embedded in the app, while Wonder Woman created a Quizlet set featuring words from a culturally diverse text. These tools increased engagement through gamification and gave immediate feedback. Students were reminded to stay on task using visual timers, and I walked the room with a tablet to monitor real-time progress.

Using Flip, students recorded themselves responding to inference questions using the RACE strategy. Wonder Woman selected an article from Newsela about a young climate activist in India, expanding her cultural lens and critical thinking. This activity supported oral fluency for ELLs and allowed for multimodal expression. I used a rubric to assess clarity, evidence usage, and cultural insight. Flip also enabled students to peer-review one another’s responses, fostering respectful discussion of global issues.
