This document summarizes a 3rd grade lesson on categorization taught by Mrs. Paul using a PowerPoint presentation. The objective was for students to organize items into categories and write about one category. The teacher felt the PowerPoint helped students achieve the objective visually and kept their attention. However, more time was needed to fully discuss the categories. Allowing students to create their own PowerPoint may have further reinforced the lesson. Overall, the technology supported the learning objective and engaged students without being a distraction.
