Township High School District 214 in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Comal Independent School District (ISD) in New Braunfels, Texas, are pioneers in the incorporation of mobile devices such as the iPad and iPod Touch in the English language learner (ELL) classroom. Though it's too soon to collect significant quantitative data regarding the effect these devices have on ELLs, the experiences of the students and teachers using iPads and iPod Touches at these districts demonstrate the devices' potential to enrich, enhance, and extend ELL instruction beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom environment. This article describes how Newcomer Center, an alternative school in District 214, and Comal ISD transformed their ELL programs by giving students around-the-clock access to some of the latest mobile devices.
