iPads: Not Just for Fun and Games – DEN Blog Network

http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/blog/2011/12/01/ipads-not-just-for-fun-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!

It’s a professional development tool that stems from the concept of taking a walk in someone else’s—in this case a student’s—shoes. And in one California school, it has reportedly helped close the achievement gap for English-language learners. The technique, which second-language acquisition expert Ivannia Soto began using in 2003, is called ELL shadowing. http://www.edweek.org/tsb/articles/2011/10/13/01shadowing.h05.html?r=2031464824

Education Week Teacher Professional Development Sourcebook: ELL ‘Shadowing’ Shows Promise

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. It’s a question that teachers at newcomer high schools such as High School of Language and Innovation or International High School in Prospect Heights, the subject of “The New Kids,” a new book by Brooke Hauser , confront daily. For help addressing the tension, High School of Language and Innovation’s founding principal, Julie Nariman, turned to Learning Cultures , a curriculum designed by New York University education professor Cynthia McCallister.

Assisting Students with Foreign Language Learning Difficulties in School | LD Topics | LD OnLine

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. Prior to the 1970's, primarily college-bound students studied foreign languages in our schools in most states. http://www.ldonline.org/article/22725/

Author: Jamal Abedi, Mary Courtney, James Mirocha, Seth Leon, and Jennifer Goldberg National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST)/University of California, Los Angeles Summary: How do we create accurate assessments of students' abilities when their experiences with a particular academic subject have been in another language? If we account for this difference using accommodations, do the accommodations themselves have an unintended impact on the results? A study by the National Center for Research on Education, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) at the University of California, Los Angeles, measures the effectiveness, validity, differential impact, and feasibility of accommodations for ELLs. http://www.colorincolorado.org/research/assessment/

Bilingual vs. ESL and Bilingual vs. Dual Language

http://www.eslpartyland.com/bilingual-esl-dual-language Teaching English to non-native speakers can be a complicated task, because different students have different levels of English language proficiency. Educators have come up with different English language programs to make it possible for all foreign language speaking students to achieve the same level of language proficiency as their English-speaking peers. There are three different types of programs for non-native speakers, and these include the bilingual program, ESL program, and the dual language program.
