and information, I incorporated this new information in with this 2e, 2g, 3a, 3b population. I also learned additional
activity. I worked one-on-one and in small groups to assist Hernan, strategies for reinforcing and improving upon

Meals I also need to provide opportunities for my
ESL students to work collaboratively while
limiting text rich resources and incorporating
more visuals, charts, and graphs. I realize the
importance of providing a digital learning
environment that includes collaboration
opportunities, differentiated activities, and
assessment tools that allow my ESL students
to not be hindered by text rich sources
possibly inhibiting their ability to accurately
show what they have learned.
As a teacher of ESL learners, I must be able
to do several things. I must understand their
specific needs for language acquisition. I
must build background, and incorporate
visuals and graphic organizers for increased
vocabulary comprehension. I need to know
how to modify my assessments to best show
student mastery and acquisition. Furthermore,
I need to know how to use technology tools
that would provide me the opportunity to do
this, such as the on-line applications, Naiku
and Formative.
As a technology facilitator of this
learning experience, I need to remain current
on new tools that would enable my ESL
students to translate text, as needed, provide
passages at their reading level, allow students
to work collaboratively to problem solve, and
