Often the “what” is not as powerful as the “how” and the “why.”

Emotional knowing
Language is the glue that sticks different kinds of “knowing” together.

#ELLEdTech
The accessed set of contexts, comprised of configurations of activities, material resources and relationships, found in co-located physical or virtual spaces that provide opportunities for learning.
Learning Ecology:
(Barron, 2004)
Language development from an ecological perspective considers the ways different forms of media, texts, activity, and relationships fit within a larger network of learning, experience, and interaction.

When was the last time you
had a meaningful
learning interaction?
What made it that way? How did you feel?
![Page 11: Intentional Ecologies](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061617/5880cb221a28abba3b8b739d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How might we…..…utilize different kinds of
media within a learning ecology to promote interaction with content and interaction with each other?

Experiences don’t always
fit in tidy boxes with
sturdy walls.

Where would you put Angry Birds on the choice/voice grid? Why?

Fact:There are SO MANY resources about choosing and using tech tools.
![Page 24: Intentional Ecologies](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061617/5880cb221a28abba3b8b739d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Also a fact:There are so many that it’s overwhelming.

Not THE answer, but AN answer.

Let’s think about a couple intentional learning ecologies that integrate tech tools.

What are the elements of this learning system?What is the role of technology tools (as seen)?What might other uses for technology be?What are opportunities and challenges in terms of thinking about language learners?How might linguistic attention/support be included?
