2. Technology can enhance learning for Bilingual/ELL students if ...

it develops deep UNDERSTANDING of concepts, ideas learning and tasks through CONTEXTUALIZATION and linkages to pre-existing knowledge and experiences
it provides AUTHENTIC, MEANINGFUL and CHALLENGING opportunities to communicate and solve problems
it enables students to COLLABORATE with a learning COMMUNITY of peers and educators
it affirm a positive student IDENTITY through AMPLIFIED PUBLISHING

3. Bilingual/ELL students should be both digital media consumers and digital media producers.
