Twitter may be the best decision I made for a Professional Learning Network. It was through Twitter that I found the inspiration for the lesson plan that I created. One thing that I've learned about English Language Learning Students is that they are usually motivated and hard-working, but they are always on different levels regarding academic content and language acquisition. Because of this, teachers must become adaptable and be able to use resources to identify student needs and capabilities. Personalized learning opportunities and differentiation strategies are a necessity when teaching ELL students. For this lesson plan, I chose to create the ultimate choice board for learning content, practicing concepts, and demonstrating mastery. Technology truly helps with this because it allows us to offer students language supports while providing content and assessments. The Think-Tac-Toe board idea was modified from a peer Twitter user's work, and the Hyperdocs was also a shared resource from a Twitter user. It's amazing to see our communities and world come together during a time of need to create ans share resources to help all students. I hope you enjoy my lesson- and please forgive my Screencast- it's not that great!
