Title | Using Blogs to Engage English Language Learners |
Body | From http://www.edutopia.org/blog/ell-digital-divide-jon-schwartz Using Blogs to Engage English Language Learners By Jon Schwartz 7/14/11 "Robbie doesn’t write," his mom told me. When he first came into my fourth grade class, asking him for 20 words was like pulling teeth. He actually scribbled a number on top of each word to keep track so he wouldn’t write any more than the absolute minimum. Four months after I introduced him to blogging, he’s consistently writing more than 100 words per post. Not only that, Robbie turned from a shy, introverted kid to a source of inspiration and information for his peers. He sees himself as a writer.
