It provides opportunities to individualize students' needs. It also is fun and new to students so it can be a motivator for them to want to learn.]]> 2019-02-19 17:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819816 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819834 In my opinion, one of the greatest benefits of integrating technology in the classroom, especially ELs is, depending on what activities are done, the sense of instant feedback. For example, if they are taking an online quiz or maybe practicing their English speaking they can see if they have done it right or wrong right away. I think it also makes the students more comfortable. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819834 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819856 I believe that there are many benefits of integrating technology in the classroom especially for ELs. For one, it may make it easier for the teacher and the student to communicate if there is some way the technology could be used to translate directions and responses. Also, technology can provide an variety of fun games for ELs to play that may help them learn or be excited to learn. Moreover, a tablet would allow to kids to be able to hear pronunciations of words which is very helpful for them to practice (especially if the teacher is with other students) ]]> 2019-02-19 17:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819856 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819871 Some of the challenges can be the difference in past experience with technology for students. Some may have iPads and have worked with computers many times before while some students may be using a computer for the first time]]> 2019-02-19 17:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332819871 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332820052 Technology in the classroom can allow students to have individualized, sometimes instant feedback and support they may not find in a larger classroom. They will also not have the pressure of being singled-out in front of a large class, and can still learn at their own pace.

- students are able to play all kinds of learning games online]]> 2019-02-19 17:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332820604 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332820958 When technology actually enhances learning and isn't just used for technology's sake. In a bio class I took, we had online activities that were interactive and allowed us to understand the material in different ways. This was helpful for the class. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332820958 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821080 I think that with technology you are given more resources. You can communicate with your students at anytime and quickly. It allows your student to be able to ask and answer questions anonymously without the pressure to be correct from their peers. It also allows you to formulate how each student is doing during a lesson so that the education is more personal. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821080 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821093 1. Might be distracting
2. Some students aren't going to be as used to using technology as others, meaning some might fall behind
3. Could take away from the importance of printed literacy]]> 2019-02-19 17:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821093 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821505 Some of the challenges for ELLs in using technology include the learning curve that comes with learning how to use the technology itself, taking away from the language learning that is intended to take place. Also, technology can be valuable for students only if it is implemented effectively by the teacher, which requires training many teachers do not receive.

Many students may be so infatuated by the technology that they begin to focus on that more than the actual lesson and learning. Another challenge is that students should be able to understand the instructions for the lesson will determine whether or not they can access the website or activity using technology. Teaching the vocabulary regarding technology prior to giving lessons may be useful and overcome this difficulty.]]> 2019-02-19 17:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821609 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821706 Some of the benefits can be that students will get the opportunity to experience learning in a different way than text learning can provide them. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332821706 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332822303 A teacher who assists all students in using technology and doesn't make assumptions about that they do or do not know.

It might also be a problem because the students may not have access to technology at home.]]> 2019-02-19 17:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332822910 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332823072 I think that it can be hard to integrate technology since it may be distracting to the students as well as their peers and there could be jealousy between students. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332823072 https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332823634 Technology can be used at certain times and a few times during the week for about an hour. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sckmoore/technologyandELs/wish/332823634
