Methods of using technology when teaching ESL

After discussing different methods of how to use technology when teaching ESL students with a teacher, I discovered a few useful tips. After talking with Ms. Dawkins about her experience with ESL and technology she told me that one of the most effective ways of communicating with these students is via Blogging. When students are able to use blogs to communicate their concerns, the teacher is able to address the issues that are present among the students. Also, by having an area where all of the students can post their concerns and see other students concerns, they can communicate with one another to solve problems. She also introduced me to a website that she finds useful as a tool: www.mrshurleysesl.com/teacherresources.html

After talking with Ms. Dawkins our group did lots of research and came up with a variety of different websites, a few of these are:
www.FletcherHill.com
www.Dositey.com
http://a4esl.com
www.kidinfo.com
www.manythings.org


All of these websites are useful places to go for tools and information.
