What are some of your favorite resources, websites, etc? Can you share a tip (or two) on how our readers can incorporate more technology when working with ELLs?

With new immigrants that come to the USA the digital divide is even more wide spread than ever. It is a war with the 'haves' and the 'have nots'.I hold a M.Ed. in ESL and finishing a M.Ed. in Educational Technology. I have built ELL WIKIs, WebQuests with WIDA standards, Diigo, Moodle and many more ways to engage my ELLs. But until we are held accountable as teachers, have AYP for not implementing technology it will not happen. All you need is one teacher who is not afraid to reach students at their level of engagement. I have heard from so many teachers that they are too old to learn. I am a grandmother and have to be a step above the students. If I can learn and push myself for a M.Ed. in technology, not to change careers but be the best ESL teacher , than anyone can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692304595974934606noreply@blogger.com
