Points of discussion What role do you play in your school? What is your experience with your ESL population? How large do you feel the digital divide is for this group of students?
Our Model The technology coach develops a strong relationship with the ESL teachers Many classroom teachers provide alternative assessments for ESL student during finals ELL students have ready access to technology in their ESL classrooms and tutoring room
Hempfield ESL population at High School • 80 + students • 12 languages • Many levels of English and native language acquisition
Challenges • Timing - when the students arrive • Fluency in native language • Dedication of family to school environment • Cultural differences
What does it feel like? Digital camera activity Divide up by language Fluent speakers become teachers Create a page using the book feature in iPhoto
Our projects’ focus Practical English Acquisition Product projects that give something back to the school Create a tangible product they can share with the school and at home
First project- A Tour of Hempfield High School Digital cameras-what excitement!!!! previously-teachers took pictures and put on bulletin board photographed various rooms in the school 3 days turned into 8 or 12 :-)
Skills developed • A better understanding of the “structure” of the English language • Language acquisition • Team-work and collaboration • Extensive knowledge of iPhoto and digital cameras
Foster pride in good work- ALternative project for student who already completed the “book” project

Role of Translation Sites with ESL students Talk to your ESL expert Students are here to learn English Do not know specialized vocabulary in their own language When to translate For Directions-how to conduct the activity When safety is a concern
Translation Websites They can translate incorrectly Be more confusing to the student http://imtranslator.com has backward translation
Translation example The principal is a very nice man, he is quite tall and makes friends with students. Mrs. Bailey, the secretary always has a smile on her face. El principal es un hombre muy agradable, él es completamente alto y hace amigos con estudiantes. Sra. Bailey, el secretario siempre tiene una sonrisa en su cara. The principal one is a very agreeable man, he is completely high and it makes friends with students. Mrs. Bailey, the secretary always has a smile in his face.
The Project management technology Mentor coach plays Another teacher many new Friend Support for program roles
Future ideas Create How do you check out a book in the library How to navigate the cafeteria to buy lunch Where do you get a lunch card? What is physical education?
Other ideas? Check list for parents in native language in district registration A phrase sheet for secretaries Your ideas????
