We may not be able to use all of the digital tools listed in the HIDOE (check the HIDOE active DSA list or with your tech coordinator), but this is a great resource that points out supports for ELs that can be used in synchronous, asynchronous or either setting.

Translated Ted Talks or TedEd

JPcoffeeNsup — 2021-04-14 21:03:52 UTC

Ted Talks are great for listening, but I really like Ted Ed transcript versions for those who relate better to the written word than just spoken or can use the supports like English Learners since the transcript includes translated versions in the drop down. This allows development of both listening & reading domains, like in the sample:

The Immersive Reader helps students follow along as it reads the text aloud, word by word. Each word is highlighted as it is read aloud, supporting the aural-visual connection. It has a grammar component that highlights nouns, verbs and adjectives, and breaks down words by syllables. For ELs, Immersive Reader can translate words or the entire text into over 60 languages, over 40 of which can be read aloud.

Translated Ted Talks or TedEd (see screenshots linked below)

JPcoffeeNsup — 2021-09-03 02:56:43 UTC

Ted Talks are great for listening, but I really like the Ted Ed transcripts that offer an additional modality. This will benefit language learners who can READ the written transcripts (with highlighted phrase tracking on), rather than just hearing/watching a speech. English Learners can also select languages other than English below the transcript with a drop down, or turn on translated subtitles on the video itself. These supports allow for increased development of both listening & reading comprehension domains. View a sample by selecting the "Read Transcripts" button:

Intriguing images stripped of their captions -- and an invitation to students to discuss them live.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/28/learning/introduction-to-whats-going-on-in-this-picture.html
Every Sunday night we post an intriguing image from The New York Times without its caption. Then, on Mondays, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern, we host a live-moderated discussion with facilitators from Visual Thinking Strategies (see the post below) where students engage in a conversation about the picture and are prompted to find evidence to back up their guesses about the photo’s context. Students can continue to comment all week, until, on Thursdays, we reveal the caption and “back story” of the image.

Teachers tell us that this multimedia feature builds critical thinking and close reading skills and is especially accessible to younger learners, English language learners and students with language-based disabilities.

Elevating SLIFE Success: Strategies for Programming and Instruction

10008609 — 2024-03-05 04:22:12 UTC

webinar Padlet by @SupportEd includes the infographic shared during the webinar in the “Tools to Support SLIFE Programming” section.

Along with the infographic, there's a SLIFE scheduling planning document, which is also available in our SLIFE resources section of the SupportEd website.

SupportEd's work around program models for SLIFE comes from the work of Andrea DeCapua and Helaine Marshall. Their book with Lixing Frank Tang, Meeting the Need of SLIFE: A Guide for Educators, takes an in-depth look at each of the program models (newcomer, stand alone, integrated ELD, and extended learning opportunities), including the pros, cons, and the need to develop programming that meets the needs of your district and SLIFE.

Formative Assessment Checklist

10008609 — 2025-10-28 06:36:38 UTC

The benefit of formative assessment for MLs is that it provides you with ongoing insights into students’ learning and supports you in adjusting your instruction accordingly. When planning for formative assessment for MLs, you need to be able to articulate the key learning being taught and assessed, collect valid and reliable evidence, interpret that evidence, and use it to plan for ongoing instruction.

10008609 — 2025-10-28 16:10:23 UTC

A scaffold is a support teachers provide multilingual learners (MLs), so MLs can perform a task they are learning to perform independently. The ultimate goal of scaffolding is for MLs to be able to complete a similar task without the scaffold eventually.
