Utilizing technology in the classroom can help support language development for emergent bilinguals. By incorporating a variety of tools into your teaching, you allow students to expand their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Overall, sites, such as those listed in the three categories can support ELLs at all proficiency levels by providing them with modeling, visual support, and creative opportunities to explore and play while learning the desired language. I think providing fun ways for students to explore language development in low pressure situations allows students make relevant connections to the language and interact with other students in the classroom.

Technology also provides teachers with a variety of resources to help incorporate aspects of community and diversity within the classroom. This helps create a safe and welcoming environment for all students, regardless of their cultures or native languages. It also provides resources that allow teachers to connect and share ideas/strategies to support emergent bilingual students. I really like the idea of utilizing these resources to better support bilingual students in my future classroom.

Keynote is wonderful tech tool! We use this in my 5th grade classroom already. This resource allows students to read, do research, write about what they found, and share it with their peers. This encourages students to develop reading, comprehension, writing, and speech skills. Students normally have a fun time creating a unique presentation with pictures to represent their writing and even fun transitions!
