I will look into the suggested sites and pass them on to our ELL teacher. I have many ELL students from various backgrounds, so I am seeking to know more about what they need and what I can do. Thank you for sharing.

The one disappointment was that the specialist on technology and ELLs never addressed technology beyond <a href="http://www.wordsift.com" target="_blank">www.wordsift.com</a> (which is totally awesome).<br />

As for the rest of the conference, I found out that the ELL population has soared in the south east. I attended a workshop with a professor from University of Arkansas and she noted that their ELL population has risen by over 200% (and climbing). At UA, they are spending a lot of money on coaching support for mainstream teachers of ELLs. It was inspirational to see that they have risen to the challenge and are making a difference. This teacher support ideally comes from school staff with the training to make the endeavor a success.<br />
<br />
I also attended a workshop on boosting academic writing and vocabulary skills of ELLs. I have been doing much of this for years, but I believe in staying current. In this workshop, with video (<a href="http://ellib.stanford.edu/" target="_blank">http://ellib.stanford.edu/</a>), a teacher conducted an excellent lesson on algebra for 8th graders. He differentiated throughout for ELLs. If you go to the link, you will find other free resources from Stanford.<br />
<br />
Next year another workshop is being planned. I can't wait:)<br />

Could you post some of the ideas you learned? I still like to believe good ideas are inspiration in themselves. :)
