I have a newcomer who knows no english. The school district gave me a computer to support his needs so I am excited to utilize the online resources that you provided. I agree that peer interaction is so important in developing the language. Luckily, I have many spanish speaking students so they are able to help. I also provided the student with a binder that has common academic vocabulary and other useful tools that are translated for both spanish and english.

I was given a computer for him from the school district so this blog opened my eyes to what NOT to do on the computer for him. Luckily in my class, there is a handful of bilingual students so the interaction part is there. I have created a binder of resources to help him with school specific vocabulary and sentence starters. Hopefully with the binder and the picture cards, he will be able to catch on quickly. I look forward to looking up the resources you provided for the computer since my student is a third grader.
