This paper focuses on the critical issue of using technology as a tool to enrich classroom practices for LEP students. When instructional technology is integrated in a competent and effective manner, students have control over their learning by being able to control their time, speed of learning, choice of topics, and it gives LEP learners prompt feedback. Data is cited from various authors; along with research from two diverse schools (El Paso, TX & Schaumburg, IL) where technology was used to successfully support LEP students. Information from ISTE is included curriculum instruction is defined and the NCLB is discussed throughout the paper. A great deal of information is included to help support the LEP student, family, and teacher.

This website aligns to my teams EQ by discussing ways educators can differentiate their instruction ELL students (and all students when we really think about it). The resource created by Karen Ford (2011) talks about "how differentiated instruction is not the same as individualized instruction...it is a matter of presenting the same task in different ways and at different levels, so that all students can approach it in their own ways (Trujo, 2004)." Information is also shared focusing on the ELL population and ways teachers can successfully differentiate to support their learning.

The article from Response To Intervention (RTI) focuses on ELLs and how we can support them with learning a new language. Some key points highlighted in the article that align to our teams EQ and would support ELL learners include: monitoring student progress 3 or more times a year, review a 3 tier system RTI outlines, and encourage general educators to participate in ESL/ESOL professional developments focused on meeting the needs of the ELLs in their classroom.
