What every administrator and every educator should know:  Separating difference from disability | Bilingually Enriched Learners | Scoop.it
An increasing number of education professionals and education program administrators have been asking me how to address the diverse assessment and instruction needs of bilingual students with learning and behavior problems. This situation presents even the most experienced education professional with unique challenges in identifying and addressing those needs due to difference from those due to disability.

Jeremy Cañón Franco's curator insight, March 9, 2020 4:12 PM
Personally I consider it is important to spend time to discover, engage and find out other resources on the web that can help us further regarding any topic we might not understand clearly well. The reason why I think it is important is because sometimes we need other ways of getting an explanation of certain topics so we can understand in a more effective way. Certain student may not understand the teacher well but with these kind of tools, it can be an extra help for learning that topic. 
Santiago Cordoba Arcila's curator insight, May 21, 2020 4:08 PM
I consider this a really helpful article to bring these channels to class. Here we can find different YouTube channels that will help our students to learn English faster while developing autonomy; I say this because we, the teachers, may show them this tools and request them to research about topics they may like and bring them to class or many other activities. 
Juan Pablo Montoya Vergara's curator insight, August 26, 2020 11:31 AM
As you may already know, YouTube is a platform that has so many advantages and fructiferous tools. For English language learning, there are so many channels that help students to work on their Personal Learning Environment as well as in their Language learning projects. One of those channels is the BBC one which is very useful to enhance many aspects of their language process, it helps them to learn not only formal aspects of English but help them to increase their practical skills such as reading and speaking.

 On the other hand, channels such as “Speak English with Misterduncan” creates interactive content which facilitates the students ‘learning process and motivate them to continue in the language path. Undoubtedly, YouTube resources facilitates the materials to learns while students have the opportunity to get fun and work on their language skills. 

 I hope that you can find this article interesting and can learn and have a mind growing.

WriteBetter – Learning tool to improve English writing skills | Bilingually Enriched Learners | Scoop.it
WriteBetter is a learning tool for written English that leverages the Data-Driven Learning (DDL) approach. DDL refers to an approach to learning foreign languages in which students discover patterns or rules of language use autonomously by exploring a large amount of sentences written by native speakers.
