This month our ESL department came together to explore the possibilities that iPad can provide. As a CODE member I was thrilled about the opportunity to share with other teachers. I presented a variety of apps that can help English language learners with vovabulary, grammar, reading comprehension and fluency, writing and speaking. We also looked at Class Dojo as a classroom management tool. All the participants were able to have hands-on experience and walked away with the list of digital tools that can be used in the instruction for English language learners. You can find detailed list on this website under "apps" category.
CODE Summer Training
I am really excited after our meeting. It is always difficult to go back to the school frame of mind after having several weeks away from it. We got introduced to so many wonderful tools that we can use in our classrooms. My head is spinning, but I am hoping to get it all together by the time school starts. My "tentative" goal at this point is to reflect regulary.
