  1. You are seeking technology resources for English language learners. In my action research I would like to identify all of the ways that technology can be beneficial to all learners.

    Your discoveries on the ways technology can help ELLs, will be relevant to my discoveries on how technology is beneficial to all learners.

    Your Action Planning Template looks very nice when I was on Internet Explorer. Yet, I was having problems posting my comments. I switched to google chrome and now your Template is not in table form. I just wanted to share that, because this blogging is giving me all kinds of problems.
