    I like this website, because it provides resources for teachers. There are other similar resources I used the tag: EnglishLearning.

    Katie, I agree that this resource can be used efficiently for other teachers future classrooms, just maybe not my own. The reason why it would not be efficient for my future classroom is because my specific area of teaching is more towards the sciences, and my the language arts. But I did love how there were multiple different websites that were available for further information and valuable resources for teachers. I also enjoyed how there were different topics to choose from such as websites, learning resources, articles and advice, teaching resources, reference, communities & blogs, and many other related posts. This website seems to be just for teachers, especially with other the different resources that are right at the fingertips for any language art or foreign language art teacher. Especially since the resource seems to be just for the english subject or even the foreign language arts course. There were also many different tools, printables, and as they say other great stuff for ELL educators are all available. I am not aware of any other similar resources to be considered, especially since I wasn't interested in looking for ELL websites. But overall, an excellent resource.

    Katie, this is an awesome list of resources! I think so often that teachers neglect ELL learners, especially if they aren't ELL teachers. I was just talking with one of my TESOL friends this last weekend and we both agreed that classroom teachers need to be more accommodating to their ELL students.

    YAY TESOL. I love seeing other teachers post about TESOL because every teacher is going to encounter ELL students in their teaching career. This is a great list of resources! I have used many of them and know that having them all in one place is extremely helpful. Since this is my future, I would definitely use this website to keep track of resources. It is for teacher use. Most ELL students would have difficulties navigating through these resources and understanding why they would be useful until a teacher helped them understand why. There are many lists on the internet for ESL help, but most have a lot of dead links. From what I looked at, this list looked very helpful!

    This module explores ways to address the specific needs of ELL students and how to scaffold their language and literacy development. You will examine observable behaviors that indicate students' progression through stages of language acquisition. English-language learners are students who have acquired their primary listening and speaking skills in a language other than English.

Khan Academy - 1 views

  • You only have to know one thing:
  •  
    Learn for free about math, art, computer programming, economics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, finance, history, and more. Khan Academy is a nonprofit with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. I use this site in my math class when we are starting a new unit. My student preview video lessons on this site, and do some practice problems to prepare for the next unit.

    Khan Academy is for more than math? I never knew! I have used this before to help my ELLs in their math classes. I will have to check out the other options the website offers.

    We just looked at this the other day in our online class! I definitely think this would be a really beneficial as a supplemental resource. Although I wonder would it be worthy enough to use in a lesson or in a classroom? By this I mean is it mainly working through slides and problems? Does it benefit to problem-based learning as much? To me it seems to be mainly for student use in that the teacher doesn't do much in helping other than giving them the links for it.

    I definitely think that if I were to use this resource in my classroom, it would be supplemental to my lessons. If students were not understanding the content of the lesson, I would give them the link to the correct videos from this website and ask them to watch. I also could see myself asking students to get a username and log into the site to work on problems so that I could see their understanding of the concepts. I think this resource could be for both student and teacher use: the students watch the videos and work on the problems, the teachers see how students do on the problems and adjust their lessons as necessary. One thing I found interesting about this website is if you click "Test Prep," the only tests that are listed are SAT, MCAT, NCLEX-RN, GMAT, CAHSEE, IIT JEE, and... AP Art History (along with a couple of others that look to be in a different language than English). Why is AP Art History the only AP test included in the test prep?! I think this is an area that this website could expand upon, but don't get me wrong, I think this is a great resource. (In particular, the math videos and lessons of Khan Academy are very strong.)
