In my practicum I have observed ELL students' limited and closed-ended use of technology. I intend to find more meaningful and effective uses of technology in literacy. Even more, technology can be the launching pad for students to authentically express themselves and share with a greater community.

Overview of Research

Quick Tips

  1. Use open-ended applications so that students can create with flexibility. 

  2. Give students time for experimentation and sharing.

  3. Plan and implement activities that is strength-based and build on students' knowledge. 

  4. Open your audience beyond your classroom to give your students purpose for their creations. 

  5. Families are a great source for skills, knowledge, and support in literacy. 

  6. Keep trying different things!
