Hi Liza! Your blog offers a great opportunity for the teacher community to exchange ideas and thoughts regarding technology-integrated classroom activities. Because I'm teaching English and Computer classes to grades 3-6, it is easier for me to use the computer lab and integrate technology in English. In this post I include some valuable websites for ESL students to practice and learn the alphabet. I hope they are helpful!

Hi there! Thanks to all of you that help to sustain a community of learners!Because we are all learning, not only pupils do! Teaching involves a lifelong learning process!And as it seems technology does help achieving this goal!!!
Adamantia, thank you for the recommended resources ! They do really provide a useful material to teach the English alphabet! Actually some of them can also be used to teach Greek alphabet! It is said that visual stimuli help to increase young learners' attention-span!!
