Technology is vital in any classroom ! Students who are in a dual language classroom, where they have to learn to write,speak and read in two languages must have visuals, realia, photos or illustrations to understand the concept or content that is being taught. This is the reason why I am trying to get an Elmo for my classroom. This fancy device, will work as a projector and I will be able to show every picture, illustration or a simple sentence to the whole class. As I teacher, I wouldn't have to worry if any of my students cannot see the board or does not understand what I am trying to say because like the old saying a picture means a thousand words.
