integrating Technology for English Language Learners (iTELL) is a three-day program designed to prepare teachers to implement research-based strategies that integrate technology in their classrooms. These strategies have been shown to improve teaching and enhance learning for EL students.

During this three-day training, participants will create technology-enhanced products that can immediately be used in the classroom. The products will include: a collection of images and online resources to support a unit or lesson; a graphic content dictionary to academic vocabulary acquisition; and a PhotoStory™ slideshow narrative.

In order to make the best use of the time, participants should bring their Teacher’s Edition and/or other curriculum materials, including interactive input devices such as the Interwrite™ pad, if available. Participants should plan to implement at least one strategy or product created during the first two days; a portion of the agenda on Day 3 will be dedicated to sharing implementation experiences.
