Delia Pompa: Hello. Welcome to this year's final show in the Reading Rockets teleconference series, Achieving Success in Reading. Today, we're going to be talking about teaching English language learners to read. In classrooms across the country, teachers need to teach reading to children who don't speak English, but most of our teachers have not been trained to do this.

Many students encounter difficulty as they transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" in fourth grade, and this difficulty can be even more pronounced for English language learners. Featuring Dr. Nonie Lesaux, this webcast explores effective strategies for instruction and assessment that can help teachers support their ELL students.

Featuring Dr. Robin Scarcella, providing an overview to academic language instruction for English language learners, as well as teaching strategies, activity ideas, and recommended resources. For general information about our webcasts or to be part of our studio audience in Washington D.C., please click here. Delia Pompa: What is academic language?

At Quakertown High School, cyber teachers are using screencasting to teach students. Cyber students are using screencasting to teach other students. At Palisades High School, the library media specialist is creating screencast tutorials and posting them online for students, staff, and the public to use as a resource. The multimedia communications teacher is asking her students to develop screencasts to serve as tutorials or product comparisons. Screencasting is a tool that can be used by teachers or students to: *demonstrate any online or electronic process *provide feedback and/or assessment of an online document or presentation This webinar will show examples of various types of screencasts and teach you how to create a screencast and make it accessible to your students via digital curation or other methods.

This presentation is a joint venture between a classroom teacher, Jean Moore and instructional tech specialist, Robin Beaver.

This presentation demonstrates how web2.0 tools can be used in the science class to enhance learning, celebrate achievements and encourage collaboration. It includes video of student interviews, examples of student work and screencasts showing how the tools can be used. Viewers will gain a 'digital toolbox' to encourage 21st century learners to participate, communicate and create.

Computers in math education are typically seen as a tool for delivering content, assessing student understanding, or in some few cases, as a vehicle for exploration of mathematical ideas. Conrad Wolfram has suggested that computers could be used to replace the computation step of solving mathematical problems, so that students' time could be freed up to learn the other aspects of mathematical problem solving. This presentation is an attempt to explore the consequences of this idea.
