Introduction

= media type="custom" key="3586736" = My name is Jenni Winters and I am an ESOL teacher at Beltsville E.S. in Prince George's County, MD. I have been teaching ESOL for the past 3 years. I work with five other ESOL teachers as our population continues to grow and become increasingly diverse. I have been incorporating technology into my lessons to enhance instruction for my ESOL students but am continually looking for new ideas to motivate students to learn. This is my second year in the STEP program and I am becoming more familiar with the technology equipment received last year and how to utilize them in my teaching.

=Goals for STEP 2=
 * develop a wikispace shared by students, parents and teachers
 * continue motivating students by using the different media and teaching students (who have no computer access at home) to be comfortable with technology in school
 * understand podcasting and meaningful ways to use it with my ESOL students
 * learn new techniques using advanced powerpoint
 * share and collaborate on technology projects with other teachers
