Artifact # 11
Context
I went to this web site in the fall of 2001
while at Appalachian State University after seeing a presentation on ESL.
After seeing this presentation, I wanted to learn more about resources
available to teachers who have students whose first language is not english.
Impact
This resource will be very important to
me as a teacher because I can use it when communicating with students whose
first language is not English as well as with their parents who may not
be able to speak English. This resources can be used when creating
a newsletter or other letters created to communicate with parents because
the letter can be translated into another language in order to be read
by parents who may not speak English.
Alignment
This is a wonderful resource that will provide
me help in the further. As a teacher and as a lifelong learner, this
product helped me to see the resources that are available when I need to
communicate with people who may not be fluent in the English language.
This product and resource also helps to affirm diversity in my classroom
because it provides an opportunity to communicate with people who are from
different ethnic backgrounds (Technology
Competency 6C). The technology that I used while creating this
product also helps to make sure that I am communicating with all parents
as well as including all students into the community of learners that I
hope to establish in my future classroom.
