Technology can be used in any content area. It is not just for computer science. It can be used in social studies to take the class on a virtual field trip around the world. This way student can see different places of the world without leaving the comfort of their own classroom. Software companies are making games and things for the net that have to do the with history and the world wars. This way student can learn about the history of their country in a comfortable environment. This kind of learning is called adventure learning.
2 Connections I can make
Having technology in the classroom can be good for differentiated instruction. For those learners who have a hard time sitting still for a long time, having this trip on line will help them keep focus on the task at hand. By having interactive learning via technology will keep learners engaged, and they will learn in an environment that will keep them focused.

3 Things I learned
It is important for teachers to make their classroom English Language Learning environment. Within the classroom teachers will have students who English is not their first language. So they need to make it a safe place that they can learn English and they can learn the material. One way to do this is for the teacher to get to know the students. Via introducing their native language and culture into the classroom. Technology allows the students to learn in their own language so that they can learn the material, and use the new technology. This is called computer-assisted language learning. Radio broadcasts will help these students. This allows the students to be spoken to in their native language digitally so they and able to understand the content.
2 Connections I can make
In my classroom I want to be able to make podcasts. This will help me get in touch with the parents of my students, but also for the parents who English is not their first language. Digitally my voice can be recorded in a different language. So this will give parents the feeling of comfort that they can understand me, and what their child is learning. For the ELL learners I will have language labs in my classroom. Where they will be presented with the content, in their native language, but also they will be able to practice English. This helps because they are being presented with the material, but they also get to practice English.

If it is clear that I have a majority of my class ELL can the school provide me all the new up to date technology that I need for my classroom?

3 Things I learned
As new technology comes into the world today, it is important for students to know how to use the technology. In some classrooms the state of the art technology has already been installed. It is important for the teachers as well to be knowledgeable in the area. Students like to teach their teachers in return. So most likely that the student knows more about the technology then the teacher does. So this gives the students the opportunity to teach the teacher, and the students will feel good about themselves in how much about technology they know. There is software and new technologies coming out to help students with special needs. This will help management in the classroom so that the students have more assistance where needed and the teacher can help other students.
2 Connections I can make
There are new software’s coming out to help with visual learning. Such as concept mapping, electronic outlining, and digital storytelling. This will help students make connections to prior knowledge using the concept mapping, and digital story telling will help get the students engaged on what the lesson will be about. Digital storytelling can be a pre-assessment to introduce the students to the material.

Can they make these different electronic way of learning in a different language for my English Language Learners?
