Abstract: Current students are growing up in a digital age that is much different from prior generations. Particularly, students’ use of technology both inside and outside of classroom settings has impacted educational formats (e.g., constructivist, student-centered) and 21st-century learning skills. Through the implementation of technology, educators are able to develop enjoyable, engaging, and meaningful learning environments for all students. This may be particularly important for ELLs who are often faced with navigating a new educational system, language, and culture. Innovative educators are able to utilize a wide variety of technological resources when working with their ELLs. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of Web 2.0 technologies that can be utilized in K-12 learning environments to assist ELLs in developing social and academic language skills and content knowledge.
