Competency 13.3: “Use media and technology to support learning for children whose primary language is not English.” Context: I used Internet explorer to go to the site www.freetranslation.com and used the text translator to translate a few of my own words into Spanish and I used the website translator to translate Crayola.com into Spanish. I also went to the site www.englishlearner.com and explored the site and printed off a reading activity. Impact: In North Carolina, there were over 44,000 students in 2000 who understood little or no English. I will need to adapt my teaching to incorporate students’ whose primary language is not English. Alignment: The websites www.freetranslation.com
and www.englishlearner.com align with
competency 13.3. They are excellent examples of technology that will
make learning easier for the student whose primary language is not English.
