NETS-T Standard 2
Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
b. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
d. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.
Reflection:
NETS-T2 allows students to be independent learners. Activities can be personalized. This is something technology is perfectly suited to. Also, standard 2 allows students to pursue individual curiosities. Maybe a student wants to do more; investigate something further

Blended ESL Grammar Course - ESL 092-HD
This is one version of the advanced grammar course which I teach at Middlesex County College. In this course, students meet me once a week for 80 minutes and complete the rest of the work online. Students are certainly independent learners here. We do meet once a week and discuss on a blackboard, but students are able to investigate linked grammar exercises as much as they want. They are able to learn about the new grammar through typed notes in Word or by listening to me discuss them in a Power Point presentation. They have choices.
ESL Website
This is a resource-filled website that I provide my ESL students. Each course has its own page which is full of resources organized by topic or chapter. Sometimes we refer to the website in class; sometimes it is just a resource there for students to review what they have learned.. Currently, the website has pages for two aural skills classes - level III phonology/discussion and level II phonology. Students can link to sites to practice listening discrimination of target sounds and listening to conversations and
