Both Dr. Jose Q. Cruz and I presented at the NABE Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 19, 2011 during the Asian-Pacific Islander SIG session. In particular, I focused on the use of digital storytelling to build the schema of English Language Learners on Guam, and he focused on scaffolding for excellence using SAT10 scores. The following are snapshots taken during our conference trip.
