Integrating Technology for English Language Learners (iTELL) in Alameda County is a 3-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.
