Abstract

This is a work in progress of this special educator's process of implementing adaptive instructional strategies in her bilingual self-contain classroom in an elementary school in the Midwest for the last year and she wants to continue it for one more year. During the last year, she crafted adaptations for her students with disabilities in the Language Arts curricular area using digital storytelling (Banaszewski, 2002; Dunn, 2000). Digital storytelling involves telling stories using multimedia technologies, providing a format for students to put their thoughts together, using visual and audio media. Some of the findings have been when the teacher have incorporated the process of digital storytelling into her special education classroom, these have produced numerous benefits with her Latinos/as students in their academic progress and acquisition of the new language (English). Her students are language learners who have different learning disabilities. One important aspect has been the students' motivation in participating in these types of activities.
