I have been using Brain Frame and chalk talks in Chinese classes. We have many visual learners in class and the mapping really is a good tool to help students to remember and to show understanding in a better way.

I like the sharing today and I am looking forward to see how it can help in my subject area.

TedTalk takes translators! Some of the high school students have applied and been accepted and they translate talks that have a global connection into their mother tongue; it gets sent to TedTalk translator editors and if approved, their translation gets published! Really cool and empowering for bi-or-multi lingual students.

At the HKIS conference this weekend some teachers were talking about using Fluency Tutor on Google apps.

Book Creator does voice to text, and interesting option for reluctant writers... but may not be as useful for ELLs because you have to enunciate VERY clearly.

I love the idea of using visual note taking for summation assessment.

SO many accessibility features...check out the video tutorial for why it is so cool:

We post teacher-created Educreations videos to our blogs with visual and audio lessons, so students can go back and watch what was covered in class, or review before tests.

My kids practice a fluency passage each week from Reading A-Z. Since this is just a print out, I record myself using Voxer. Then I send this link out to my kids so they can practice at home by reading along with my voice.

I also use Educreations to make videos (mostly for math) so my kids can review at home. The only downside is if the kids don't have a strong internet connection or VPN, they can't watch it at home.

I use voice over all the time with my French students. This helps them improve on their pronunciation way faster than having me repeat for them.

I love the idea of using Adobe Voice and can't wait to try in my MS group . Perfect for short pieces of presentational speaking in Language classes.

Paint, Markers, Pencils, Paper, Scissors.

Simple.

But Seriously.

Their visual language is on point.

Easy Blog Jr. (lower elementary and ECC)- students can choose to talk about a photo. The text can be read to students and walk them through posting on their blogs. Here's an example of one of my ELL students sharing about our China unit: http://share.sis.org.cn/mrsc/2016/01/22/andys-video-on-thursday-january-21-2016/

Touchast: Flipped Interactive Lessons- great for pre-teaching vocabulary and concepts and can add questions, video links, and more! http://www.touchcast.com/mrs_c_sis/

Quizlet: https://quizlet.com/

Vocabulary games, add pictures, create definitions, students can listen to the definitions. Great for reinforcement. Here's an example: https://quizlet.com/58768128/grade-2-land-map-vocab-flash-cards/

Flipping thru Online Video

MJMFoodie is a youtuber who has excellent preview videos for Economic concepts- students (especially ELLs) can view the cartoony visuals which accompany the video talks, and view them again and again...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoVc_S_gd_0&list=PL336C870BEAD3B58B

They can also watch these videos which are at a higher level and are better for review. Flipping the classroom in this way allows ELLs to watch and listen at their own pace along with subtitles.

We used to use iBrainstorm (https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/ibrainstorm/id382252825?mt=8) in the past as well (involves colored Post-Its which students can organize). Quizlet (quizlet.com) allows you to create your own list of vocabulary words which is very easy to amend and add pictures to.

Wether it's creating digital texts with iBooks Author, converting websites into PDFs for class reading/annotating (dotEPUB.com), or publishing student work via iBooks; this platform has endless possibilities to enhance support for ELLs at all ages. iBooks has highlighting and annotating features as well as a read aloud option to help readers' pronunciation.

Recording ELLs writing into a podcast opens up opportunities for a wider audience and a global interaction with listeners.

To record you can use the free Voice Record Pro app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-record-pro/id546983235?mt=8) and upload directly on the SIS' share sites or other blog platforms like Weebly or Blogster.
