Reading Prompt #10

Technology can be wonderful assets for ELL's in various ways. Students can use different websites as extensions to particular lessons. For example,we did a lesson on circuits and this website http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/ provided students with extra practice on that targeted TEK. The website provides different English, Math and Science lessons that are all interactive, animated and very easy to navigate for all students. The students love this program!

Flickr provides students with visuals and "real-world" applications to the world outside the classroom. Many of my ELL's are limited on different experiences that are not provided in the classroom, textbooks or even picture books and the Internet can provide learners with cultural awareness and understanding of our diverse country.
