Individualized Instruction and Learning Using the iPod TouchMobicip.com
Comal ISD in New Braunfels, TX, has implemented a 1:1 learning program using the Apple iPod Touch for its English language learners. Middle school students who participate in the program are each given an iPod Touch that contains apps, music, documents, presentations and instructional videos that allow the students to learn on their own time outside of school hours. Participants in this session will get an inside view of the program, how the program evolved from concept to reality, cover acceptable use policy, security and deployment management, and anecdotal evidence of the benefits derived by students participating in the program.

Kindergarten Teacher-Based Teams: Collaborating for Student Success
June 27, 10:15– 11:30am, Room: Champaign
This session will share the Teacher-Based Team 5-Step Process of the Ohio Improvement Process through the journey kindergarten teachers took as they learned to be reflective of their practice and form a professional learning community. Their story will show how teachers adjusted their curriculum materials to match the learning needs of their students in their core instruction program; used data to inform the grouping of students; incorporated additional intervention time on a daily basis to scaffold and differentiate instruction; and made transparent data and effective instructional practices the focus of teacher-based team meetings.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

technology integration,
technology offers opportunities
to be more actively involved in
the learning experience”

3. Image galleries: While assisting ELL students who are learning English, preview
each of your lessons and support the text your reading with suitable images from
the internet. Images provide contextual clues and help ELL students determine
meaning.
Multilingual books: Research shows that if students have literacy in their primary
language then they are able to transfer those skills to reading in English. It’s
important to use reading programs that are easy to use and integrated audio and
software program.
Applications: Use of smartboards, laptops, iPads and chrome books. Some of the
programs a teacher could use would be iBooks, Kindle, google translator, phonics,
world speller and Rosetta Stone.
4. 1. Software programs- Rosetta Stone and Read
Naturally
2. Multimedia projects- Power Point presentation
3. Podcast and blogging
4. Use of laptops, iPads, chrome books
5. Scenario: A few ELL students are having trouble following the class and comprehending English
vocabulary words. During individual work time in the class the teacher sets the students up with their
individual laptops and headphones and allows them to work quietly at their own pace to learn English
while still associating with their native language. The results are sent to the teachers computer where
she can make see what each individual student needs.
Use of Rosetta Stone: Installing this software on classroom computers, students can progressively
become more consistent with guided activities which focus on listening and speaking. One-on-one
tutoring, classroom interaction with the teacher, group learning, and self paced individual study are
some ways to interact. There are game based activities, and rich reading content which engage
students. Teachers can assess progress, with a reporting tool that they can also customize instruction
for different learning needs.
6. Scenario: In a fourth grade classroom of 30 students, half the class come from households where
English is second language or isn’t spoken at all at home. The student lack academic support. The
teacher in this classroom set the students up with blogs and required the students to write 100 words
a day. They then could post their blog to the classroom website and read and share with other
students.
Blogging: Blogs provide a virtual workbench that students can use to find their creative muse and
learn about the technological world. Teachers could give a topic each week and have the students blog
or write about it. Using blogger.com students could read, comment on others work and publish work.
Blogging improves engagement , technical skills and lessons in digital citizenship. With blogging
students learn typing, internet research, editing, graphics and a platform to share work with the class
7. Scenario: A teacher in a fourth grade classroom has given each student a country report. Each student
is to research a country and follow directions as to what to present. Each student will have time each
day in class on individual laptops to work on their project. Instead of having the students orally
present the project, they can demonstrate and share through Power Point. This will help ESL students
who struggle to read orally.
Multimedia projects-Power Point: Can be easily effective for ESL students, it exists as part of many
ESL students prior knowledge. Power Point is a dynamic vehicle for preparing students to read,
preparation that involves, “activating and building background knowledge” It’s a bridge for the ESL
students because the slides have boundaries, are easy to set up, allows students to focus on ideas and
keeps things organized. Teachers benefit also by the Power Points building block approach to language
in order to craft presentations.

9. Aide in demonstrating a concept, skill or strategy: Teachers use computers to support beginning ELL’s
in guided writing activities. The graphics, prompts, and templates available keep writing interesting
and reduce students frustration. EX: Interactive writing games.
Providing feedback for student development: Teachers can customize and differentiate lesson plans
based on individual needs. If a student is following a computer program a teacher can have the results
sent to him/her to evaluate and assess learning.
Help students build their vocabulary: Technology allows teachers to customize instruction. Some ways
students could use technology would be with translation tools, or online picture dictionaries to aid
comprehension while more advanced ELL students could use electronic dictionaries without graphic
support. EX: online picture dictionaries, Google Translate.
Help students in cooperative learning groups: Thinking skills and creativity are promoted when
students interact with their peers, to brainstorm, explain, question, disagree, persuade and problem
solve. Technology can enhance peer interaction in cooperative learning groups as students can engage
in peer tutoring, model effective behavior, communicate electronically and take a range of roles while
working at the computer. EX. Use of email to communicate.
10. Integrating technology into an ESL setting can be beneficial in many
ways and some of them include these things:
It can individualize and custom curriculum.
It can promote cooperative group work.
It can impact English skills while also providing technology skills
essential for 21st century learners.
It can increase the percentage of time students stay on task
during independent practice.
