Technology is a wonderful tool if used correctly. I think that integrating technology with emergent bilinguals can be a very useful tool in assisting them with their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. There are many sites that can be used by the students independently and there are also sites that provide the opportunity to do whole class instruction. The underlying factor in getting to use technology for emergent bilinguals and other students within the classroom is the amount of access the school has to technology. By finding ways for students to access technology early on, the more successful they will be in the future.
By using technology, emergent bilinguals will not only have the opportunity to further their language skills but they will also be able to practice using critical thinking skills, collaborating with others, communicating, and creativity through a variety of projects and activities. The SAMR model looks at the ways teachers are providing technology opportunities for their students within the classroom. The goal for teachers is to go from using technology for enhancement to transformation. While it can be hard for teachers to stray from the basic uses of technology, it is important for our emergent bilinguals, and all students, to have practice using more complex versions of technology.

This is a great resource to offer emergent bilinguals when they are working on writing or just trying to remember a specific word. Word Hippo allows the students to search words and find synonyms, antonyms, words that rhyme, translations, pronunciations, and so much more.

List of assessment and rubric information

This site is a great tool for new teachers and those who are struggling to explain what students will be doing in a particular assessment. The differentiator breaks up all the important pieces of information you will need to include for the learning objective in an easy to use format.

Thinking Skills tell us how we want students to think about the content. I use Bloom's Taxonomy. Make sure students are actually doing the thinking you want! For example, "create a list of odd numbers" is not high-level thinking, despite the word "create."

Content is the topic you're teaching! Click "click to edit" in the objective above to change it. You can differentiate your content by using Depth and Complexity below.

Resources are where students will get their information. You might lecture, give them a book to read, show them a video, etc. You'll want to get way more specific than these options.

The product is how students' show you their thinking. It should match the level of Bloom's that you aimed for. ⚠️ Products tend to be over-emphasized! A cool-looking product does not mean that there was high-level thinking.
Product list adapted from David Chung and The Flip Book, Too by Kaplan, Gould, Siegel
Beware the negative side of putting students in groups! Group work is vastly overused and will limit what students can produce.
