Mobile technology can be a powerful motivator for these students, facilitating development of skills in vocabulary, grammar, writing, and more.

The ideas will be fun for the ELL students. They will appreciate the Skitch app.

It was a great reminder that ELL students are often translating in their heads and it is easy for them to get behind in a lesson or miss parts because of this. Being able to record the lesson and come back to it is great! Hearing text read is super for fluency and use of words. I also liked the Skitch app where they can create their own flashcards and make them meaningful to them. Awesome!

Too much focus on why to use tablets and why ELLs are different. It would have been better to focus on the actual apps. Most of us who have ELLs in our classes ALREADY know this information and we are looking for further support on what is available for our students.
