RSS Feeds
ELL news and information is available as RSS feeds. RSS is the "technology built into blogs to notify you of updates. You can get these updates on a web page, in your email inbox, or on your PDA."
If you click an RSS link but do not have a compatible reader installed, you will see XML code in your browser. To view the headlines, paste the feed address into an RSS news reader (see the sample list of readers below), or use a browser which supports RSS feeds.
Currently, Colorín Colorado offers ELL News as an RSS feed. Click on the 
icon on the ELL News page to receive the feed. Other information from Colorín Colorado will be available via RSS soon.

Note for organizations without RSS capability
Organizations with web sites that run off of older content management systems may not have the ability to display RSS-fed information on their sites. If this is the case, you can still automatically display Colorín Colorado's daily headlines on your site simply by inserting one line of code we've created into your web page. Please contact us for information on how to do so.
I'm the ESL Program Manager for the Dept of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) in Europe. We're the school system for our military members' children. Our ESL programs support ELLs in grades Pre-K to grade 12. We have several delivery models — pull-out, integrated (inclusion), and collaborative/consultative. Most of the teachers are very familiar with your website and we often use your information for parents, administrators, and for classroom teachers of ELLs. I have shared your website each year with the new early childhood (ages 3-5 yrs) teachers in our system as well. I often refer to your website in newsletters to different groups.
