Technology Use for ELL students

When looking at how teachers can better educate themselves on technology I was looking at technology in the classroom. I was thinking about finding good interactive websites for kids to use outside of science class. In our placement students get to use the computers every Friday. Having fun sites available using science or any subject for that matter would be a great way to utilize this computer time to your advantage. Students will still be excited to play games on the computer but will be working on science or other subjects outside of that class period. When searching for websites I came across a site that had links for interactive websites for English Language Learners. I looked for which websites were given directed toward science.

Grades 4-6 Students can use engage in games, activities, and science experiments from the TV show ZOOM.

grades 4-8 Students can mark this website to translate while they work if they need a quick help.

Grade 4-8 Students are able to label pictures using science. vocabularyhttp://www.scholastic.com/kids/homework/maggie_science.htm

This website isn't for science but I thought it was a good one in helping ELL students by using songs. This website has traditional songs and has the words come up as it is sung.

Because we have looked at the importance of using technology in the classroom we know that it has great benefits. We need to look at these websites to help ELL students. Some interactive websites other students may use may be confusing or make learning more difficult for these students. As teachers we need to look at all students and this website has many websites ELL students can use for different subjects.
