I created this recipe as a short explanation of one effective way in which teachers can incorporate technology into their classroom while still having the students complete various assignments. Through the use of technology and centers combined, students' language acquisition can dramatically increase because they are constantly immersed in real world use of their second language. Technology can be an extremely useful tool to have in one's classroom, however students still need to experience the traditional form learning through group work, and assignments. Creating centers which allow students to have hands on experiences with electronics in order to complete a task, and also to work with their peers is an excellent way to continue to move into the English language.
