Get Active! Get Talking!

My students need help getting active and talking. They need an iPad and KidZoom Cams to learn language skills.

My Students

Many regular classroom teachers ask me: "How come the ESL students in my classroom don't speak in class. I see them talking so much at recess?" Well, kids feel comfortable with their peers and when they are playing. It's time to blend the two. Let's get active! Let's get talking!… and writing! Shhhh

My "cookies", that's what I call all of my 76 ELLs (59 direct + 17 monitored) in grades K-5.

They come from all over the world: Mexico, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Vietnam, China, France, Siberia, Philippines, and Africa. Some cookies were born in the US and only spoke the family's native language their whole life. We are a Title I school serving a high poverty community. Their exposure to adequate English language and access to technology only happens in school. My cookies require constant encouragement, love, trust, understanding, empowerment, and appropriate tools to succeed that will narrow the achievement gap. They need opportunity to shine and prove to themselves, family, and classroom teachers they can learn. Yes! THEY CAN LEARN... and speak, listen, read, and write. Yes, they may be behind a grade level or more, but they work hard, they try hard, and they fall hard too, but they get up and do it all again because they believe, I believe, and you believe they CAN LEARN!

My Project

My students will use the iPad mini and kids action cameras to supplement and support their daily language learning. Using the numerous excellent educational apps that are available, my students will work toward meeting many language objectives in listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as technology standards by staying active. Primarily, students will record their outdoor activities and peer interactions to share experiences in the classroom through video, conversations and written responses. The iPad will provide a further step in the process with some excellent, user friendly apps for age appropriate video editing. I'm excited to assign short film projects where students will engage in conversations as they record themselves playing and narrating what is happening. This will encourage communication, while keeping them active since the projects will involve sports, PE sessions, recess, and playground experiences.

This will provide students with a fun and interactive way to search, explore, record, and capture most outdoor activities and experiences to share with peers.

They will communicate using language skills learned from peers and classroom teachers. They will be encouraged to narrate the video and share personal "adventures" in PE and playground. They will get active and feel that everything they do matters!
