MA Project WordSift PLUS: Exposes Comprehension & Bridges the Language Gap
WordSiftPLUS is a web-based formative assessment tool customized to help English Language Learners develop and demonstrate comprehension. The user drags images, adds captions and, sorts them on a visual organizer. The goal of WordSiftPLUS is to expose student comprehension of target reading materials and academic content by providing visual means of organizing information and scaffolding academic writing activity. This tool adds the capability to guide comprehension and the reflection process necessary in academic content learning to WordSift, an existing web-based tool for visualizing content.

Digital Flashcard Design for Mobile Device TeacherMate
TeacherMate
Scheduled to launch in 2009, this software helps third grade English language learners acquire grade-level vocabulary necessary for academic success. Proposed learning activities and interface designs for TeacherMate. Later in the production stage, produced approximately 1000 illustrations for each word in Marzano’s grade 3 academic vocabulary list.

Language Assessment: Oral Language Acquisition Inventory (OLAI)
Project Overview
To investigate the utility of Oral Language Acquisition Inventory, or OLAI (Gentile, 2004, 2005). The OLAI is a multi-part test that provides the tester with usable information about children's abilities to use key syntactic, grammatical, and prosodic elements of spoken English. This goal of the study was to determine whether and what portions of the OLAI are most useful for efficiently producing information teachers can use to plan and carry out instruction, particularly English language development instruction.
