Great article at: http://www.edweek.org/rc/issues/english-language-learners

I found this great article about English language learners. It really highlighted some of the points about learning English as a second language and had some good statistics. At the bottom were some great resources.

Technology in the English Classroom: http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~iejll/volume4/Coogan/

I found this great article about infusing technology into the English classroom. It helps to enhance student's skills with technology and engage students with learning. I found it really interesting and useful to help connect students with others around the world by making technology universal. It also had a lot of great ideas for ways to use technology in the classroom. Check it out if you have a minute!

The Digital Divide: http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/tech041.shtml

After viewing this week's videos, I wanted to look for more information on the digital divide. I found a great site that provided resources and links that really looked into this issue. I was most surprised by the fact that even with technology advancing, the gap between people that have access to computers and those who don't is still growing! With all the advances that make technology easier for people to access, there are still people who aren't able to participate in our society. The site also provided a message board so that educators can share with others which I thought was a great tool. Hope this site is as helpful to you as it was to me.
