Monday provided many unique ways I can more effectively provide my ELL students with the differentiation they need. After viewing many different applications through the sessions and booths, I was most impressed by all the positive ways information can be provided using visual and audio technology. From vocabulary presentations to creating PowerPoint audio books, I look forward to providing my students with new and effective strategies that use technology.

Tuesday was by far the most valuable day of the conference. Learning the specific details of copyright laws as applied to education helped clarify many long time questions I had had. As it turns out, just about any resource can be used without penalty under the copyright laws, as long as the application is educational. This reduced my fears of reproducing many forms of media in the classroom which has allowed me to provide a wider variety of information to my classes. The Shakespeare Set Free session was amazing and I recommend checking out the website @http://www.folger.edu/remix/ to any teacher who shares Shakespeare in their classroom. In the last unit of 8th grade Springboard there is an excerpt from A Midsummer's Night Dream which we will use to create videos similar to those shown on the website.
