Topic #8: Technology in the Classroom #2--ESL Tutoring

I try to make my ESL tutoring easy and fun for the kids so that they want to keep coming back at 7:00 a.m. Today, we working on Science Vocabulary and then played an online game. The website is http://education.jlab.org/vocabhangman/index.html. This is a great game that allows for students to review concepts that we have already gone over.

The really exciting aspect of this website is how I prepared for it. I went through and worked on some basic BEAMS vocabulary with the students and then printed them off a list fo the vocab words for their folders. They were then able to use their notes to help them play hangman.

This assignment worked liked I wanted it to, becuase my kids were able to move at their own pace. I have one student that knows all the answers and is doing a great job with the vocabulary and helping other students. She was able to also move on to different subject to see how she was doing.

I would definately do this project again with my students.
