A Look Back: Video: My Thirty Minute Presentation On Teaching English Language Learners

For the next several months, each week I’ll be republishing posts from the past that I think readers might still find useful.  This post first appeared in 2018.

 

 

As I previously shared, ELL teachers from around the world today shared short professional development video presentations as part of the second VirtuEL.

You can see all of them here – for free!

Here’s mine.

It’s titled “Supporting ELLs Through Differentiation, Motivation & Affirming Error Correction.”

Session Description: Participants will learn practical and effective strategies to help differentiate instruction for ELLs in ELL-only and in general education classes. In addition, they will learn ways to create the conditions for students to motivate themselves, and how to use error correction techniques in positive and supportive ways.

 

     

Pins Of The Week

 

I’m fairly active on Pinterest and, in fact, have curated 25,000 resources there that I haven’t shared on this blog.

I thought readers might find it useful if I began sharing a handful of my most recent “pins” each week (I’m not sure if you can see them through an RSS Reader – you might have to click through to the original post).

Here they are:

     

Ed Tech Digest

 

Ten years ago, in another somewhat futile attempt to reduce the backlog of resources I want to share, I began this occasional “Ed Tech Digest” post where I share three or four links I think are particularly useful and related to…ed tech, including some Web 2.0 apps.

You might also be interested in checking out all my edtech resources.

Here are this week’s choices:

Solar System 3D is a pretty cool browser-based tool for exploring the…solar system.

New: When one teacher totally dropped ed-tech from his classroom, teaching and learning became harder. That might be why it’s been successful.

Video: “Dorothy Day Gave Her Life to Those America Left Behind”

 

I spent seven years as part of the Catholic Worker Movement, and thought I’d share this video of Dorothy Day, who founded the Movement.

I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Women’s History.
