My Experience with Newcomers

I've had many newcomers in my class from countries such as Bosnia, Sudan, Somalia, Afganistan, Cuba and Mexico. Since I grew up overseas, I know what it is like to not be able to read the words and have to learn a new culture. My purpose for this blog is to help others and share strategies so the students will be learning throughout the day. I've been taking ESL classes for 5 years and have gone to conferences that helped me create a newcomer packet that I've shared with my school. I've gone to many microcomputer in education conferences at ASU, trying to increase technology learning for my school. It is my hope in this blog, we can help others, and stay current with great free online resources. If you want to join this blog, and you are an expert or a newbie, please write in the comment field and I will send you a invite. I welcome all who want to help our newcomers.
