#10 Ali Berman on 25 Jul 13Amy, I really enjoyed reading the blog Web4AllLearners. This is a great blog from an ELL's teachers point of view on Web 2.0 barriers. It really explains how far behind students who come from a non English speaking country are, and how long it takes to catch them up. In my little experience as an educator, I have not worked with really any ELL students, so I didn't realize how long it takes them to catch up, and how a computer program won't help them that much, since they may come from a family that is poverty stricken and not have the technology. I thought this was a very interesting article.

#11 Ali Berman on 25 Jul 13Lisa, your website about how to see if a website is accessible is so helpful. It is so easy to understand and gives such easy ways to check if a website is accessible for people with disabilities. I know some of these tips will come in handy.
