Conditions for effective learning for ESL students.
Engage prior understanding
Connect prior learning and knowledge with real world problems. Students construct new knowledge on a foundation of existing understandings and experiences.
Integrate factual knowledge with conceptual framework
Teachers should provide varied opportunities to learn goal of deep understanding. Deep learning occurs when students transfer knowledge and skills from one language or context to another, as opposed to simply regurgitating facts or responding to reading passages by filling in bubbles on a worksheet.
Students take active control over learning process
Students are provided an opportunity to gather information and to engage in reflection on their own learning process with peers, teachers, and others. This allows students to improve their learning and reasoning skills.
**
In my current classroom, I have 8 level 1 ELL students. During our small groups, the students enjoy setting goals for themselves.For example, I had a student who wanted to be able to count in English up to 30. We created a visual plan with the days of the week and pictures so he would know what we're doing that day to help him reach his goal. Also, we would use educational games (Dreambox) and the students would be able to receive immediate feedback on their knowledge and progress.*
How can the internet be use effectively and safely.
Make sure students are aware of expectations.
*I
n my current classroom, I created a constitution for our classroom laptop cart that all students must sign. It lists that they will not participate in online bullying, visit unapproved sites, etc." This holds the students responsible and keeps them aware of the clear expectations.
**
Help students evaluate websites:Bias, reliability, and Accuracy
Educators should help students learn how to critically evaluate online information term of bias, reliability, and accuracy.
Web 1.0 & 2.0
Web 1.0 is the technology that permits use to access and read information on the internet.
Tools to Utilize
Scavenger Hunts, WebQuests, and Individual/Group Projects.
*
I have used scavenger hunts to increase student engagement. This is beneficial to my ESL students because it allows to communicate with their peers in English while acquiring new words.
**
Web 2.0 technology that permits interactions and collaboration on websites. These sites permits students to read, write, and interact with others in and out of their classrooms, locally, and globally.
Tools to Utilize
Blogs, wikis, and podcasts.
*
We use blogger in my classroom as our class blog. We use it as a discussion forum where students are able to voice opinions or any other announcements. I like using this tool because before anything is posted I am able to approve it. Also, this is beneficial to ELL students who tend to not speak up during class discussions. Many of them feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts on the blog.
**
In my experience, when my students are able to explore new technology tools as a group they are more comfortable with the tool and are able to help each other when they are experiencing issues**
*
It is beneficial for my ELL students to hear me speak over podcast and tape recordings. They are able to understand what is being asked of them by listening to my instructions via podcast. Also, we have created news programs using YouTube. After learning new social studies content, students create a news story with their group. For example, they would create a news story about the succession between 1861 - 1865.
**
Use technology to differentiate instruction for English language learners.
*
I
n my current classroom, we use a tool called imagine learning. I use it to help the students learn basic English skills. Also, for students who are on a higher ELL level use it to understand the content in a simpler way.
*
Social Networking
Why use this in the classroom?
Can connect students with other classrooms even in other countries. Facilitates communication among students as they work on collaborative projects in academic content areas.
How to use this in the classroom
Students can use book reviews on the web and share their own reviewa with others. The class can take a virtual field trip to museums, cities, historical sites, or other locations.
**
With parent permission, my class created Facebook pages for historic figures during the civil war. The students were put into groups of 4-5. This was beneficial for my ELL students because they were able to have that conversation piece with their peers.
**
A glimpse into the future
The classroom of the future requires spaces that are nonlinear.
*
I believe it is beneficial for students when teachers implement technology into the classroom.
**
*
Internet reading requires the use of more cognitive involvement and critical thinking skills. Teachers can help students by teaching the to ask questions ans practice effective comprehension skills.
