iPads: Not Just for Fun and Games
Although I teach honors algebra 2 as well as a low functioning Essential 1 freshman math class, I am striving to integrate iPads effectively in many ways beyond learning games for practicing computation and mathematical reasoning. IPads can be used effectively to remediate, extend concepts to STEM, and Publish. All of my students have access to using iPads as needed to reinforce math concepts, but they have begun to use them in ways to support their STEM projects too, ( 10 iPads serve my 130 students pretty well at this point… though I would love to have access to more!). First, a special thanks to Kari Huttner and Kyle Schutte for sharing these app.s with me!

Education Week Teacher Professional Development Sourcebook: ELL ‘Shadowing’ Shows Promise
Blendi Brahimaj, Wilis Hernandez and Reyson Rosario working together On a recent day at High School of Language and Innovation earth science teacher Katie Walraven did very little. Walraven’s choice to take a back seat to her students was strategic: She was letting her students, who are almost all recent immigrants, do most of the teaching. Her approach reflects one answer to a tricky question: How to teach high school students grade-appropriate content — while at the same time teaching them English.

Assisting Students with Foreign Language Learning Difficulties in School
By: Leonore Ganschow and Elke Schneider (2006) The question of why some students seem to learn a foreign language with ease while others struggle has plagued both foreign language and special educators, especially in recent years.

Bilingual vs. ESL and Bilingual vs. Dual Language
Teaching English to non-native speakers can be a complicated task, because different students have different levels of English language proficiency.

"People were fading away," she said, community via the center's director, Donna Carlton. "I wanted to create a group where we could socialize." And so, the Flying Hands social club was formed. The group welcomes the deaf and hearing impaired and those who want to learn American Sign Language. "Flying Hands means hands fly when you sign," Jones said.
