I have been using this Web site as a resource since I first started in educational publishing way back in 1998. This has been a long-term and consistent source for information, ESL expert reviewers, and just general discussion around what needs to happen for English-language learners to have success in school. If you have ESL students and are not sure what to do for them, this is a great place to start and to find individuals who are willing to give tips and support your efforts.

Social Networking as a Tool for Student and Teacher Learning - 0 views
-
Online social networking includes much more than Facebook and Twitter. It is any online use of technology to connect people, enable them to collaborate with each other, and form virtual communities, says the Young Adult Library Services Association
-
Survey research confirms, however, that interest in harnessing social networking for educational purposes is high. As reported in School Principals and Social Networking in Education: Practices, Policies and Realities in 2010, a national survey of 1,200 principals, teachers and librarians found that most agreed that social networking sites can help educators share information and resources, create professional learning communities and improve schoolwide communications with students and staff. Those who had used social networks were more positive about potential benefits than those who had not. In an online discussion with 12 of the principals surveyed, most said, “social networking and online collaboration tools would make a substantive change in students’ educational experience.” They said these tools could improve student motivation and engagement, help students develop a more social/collaborative view of learning and create a connection to real-life learning.
-
Among students surveyed in a National School Boards Association study, 96 percent of those with online access reported using social networking, and half said they use it to discuss schoolwork. Despite this prevalence in everyday life, schools have been hesitant to adopt social networking as an education tool. A 2010 study into principals’ attitudes found that “schools are one of the last holdouts,” with many banning the most popular social networking sites for students and sometimes for staff.

The Social Dimension of Asynchronous Learning Networks - 0 views
-
This article actually stretches into the idea of Asynchronous Learning Networks. It is probably a little out of the scope of this assignment but the article focused on the social needs and elements of Asynchronous learning so I thought it was interesting and relevant.
-
This is quite old, however, as I read through the document I felt that the information was still relevant. You may read through it to see if you agree. While the tools and access have become much more advanced since 1998, the needs of participants in an asynchronous network have not changed. Let me know if you agree. For a fun look at the past, see the graphic on page 11.
Personal Learning Networks and Your Personal Expertise - 0 views

I was reminded that Google tries to rank sites for me based upon what it thinks I want. David Loertscher addressed siloing, which means your information group is too small and possibly too like-minded. Loertscher advocates that one should open your net just a bit. He suggests seeking diverse experts to follow on the Internet and identifies some of his favorites to gain a variety of voices.
Theory and Practice in Mathematics Teaching Development: Critical Inquiry as a Mode of ... - 0 views
-
You will need to use your BSU information to access this article. This article addresses the "challenge of developing theory in relation to the practices of mathematics teaching and its development". This a lengthy article but well worth the read for any level of mathematics teacher! The author is trying to "show" how theory can really be put into practice. The author highlights and well supports that: 1) students learn through exploration and 2) educators using inquiry as a tool to enable teachers to develop teaching.
