EdTech’s Blind Spot: Closing the ELL Equity Gap

Teachers and students can find edtech tools for nearly every subject, grade level, and skill. However, very few edtech tools specifically address the complex needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) and their teachers. ELLs are a growing yet underserved segment of the U.S. student population, and teaching these diverse learners presents unique and highly complex challenges. This panel brings together educators and industry experts to explore how digital tools can best serve ELLs. We’ll look at how teachers can use and repurpose existing tech tools, as well as how the edtech industry can innovate to provide new solutions, and possibly even revolutionize how we teach language acquisition.
