Using Technology to Motivate Underperforming Students (Long Term ELLs Primarily) in High School
I am an instructional coach trying to support teachers in raising the D/F rates in our high school. One vehicle to possibly accomplish this is through the use of technology such as document cameras, iPad2s, LCD projectors, etc. Since not every teacher is tech savvy, I need to figure out which tool or tools would be best in trying to make the instruction more engaging for kids with a long history of failure. Also, as a tech fanatic, I don't want to turn teachers off by flooding them with what I see as "great apps."
Any advice?

Denise,
I think the use of netTrekker is a good resource to introduce these teachers to. This resource allows the student to narrow subject searches by topic and readability. There is a fee for using it but your district may want to purchase it; it is an exceptional investment.
