The cell phone is the most quickly adopted consumer technology in the history of the world. According to new research from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 61 percent of Americans own a smartphone while 91 percent of the adult population owning some sort of mobile phone.
Also, using the Internet is becoming a necessity across more and more facets of life. It’s used to complete homework, search for and apply for jobs, connect with family and friends. Yet, nearly one-third of U.S. households (32 percent) lack broadband service. Teachers of the lowest income students are more than twice as likely as teachers of the highest income students (56% v. 21%) to say that students’ lack of access to digital technologies is a “major challenge” to incorporating more digital tools into their teaching.
In this interactive hands-on workshop, participants will leave with research-driven strategies and digital tools that empower ELLs and their parents. Follow us on Twitter @CAellchat & @tovaralms
