Here is another good ESL teacher tip from Larry Ferlazzo that makes use of the student's cellphone camera. Students take a picture of any sign or message they don't understand and text their photo to the teacher. Larry made a video of the pix View at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r-agDZ-rJM or see below:
His plan is to view the video in class and then talk about the words or phrases students have difficulty understanding. If you aren't computer savvy enough.to download the picture texts and compile them into a video, why not turn this into a group activity? Students in each group could share their phone photos with each other and collaborate on what they think the meaning may be. The teacher could facilitate from group to group to clarify any misunderstanding. Rotate students to another group and repeat the activity.
