•Brief rationale for computer integration (why use technology?):
This website offers a fun way for students to better acquaint themselves with verbs, allowing students to go at their own pace and be corrected immediately if any mistakes are made. The game format adds a level of competition to further push the students, but not too hard since it is merely a game to get 15 questions right, before they get that amount wrong.
