It’s difficult to figure out who are the seminal people in digitally collaborative learning amongst ELL’s because this research is a fairly new topic. I have actually come across various articles on research that has been done across Europe and Asia. Even though here in the United States there is a large population of ELL’s, the English language is such an important language that other countries consider students whore learning the English language as ELL’s and try to apply different strategies sin the classroom to help these student’s English skills. One of the authors of the 3 research articles that I have collected is Deborah L. Lowther, an educator at the University of Memphis. She is known for her extensive work and research in 21st century skills and on how to instill them in the classrooms. She has worked in numerous journals and articles about this topic. One of her highest honors was receiving the Outstanding Research Award from the American Educational Research Association in 2008. This is an idea that is shared among the researchers that I have read about. The 4 C’s was another shared topic among the articles that I have read. One of my articles focused on how students perceived their experience in the classroom going through mobile learning activities and considering the 4 C’s.

Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job finding research articles that pertain to your study and driving question! Interesting that the 4C's seem to be a shared topic amongst the articles you have found!

While not finding a lot of research on your topic is probably challenging as we collect studies, the good thing is it allows you to really set up something that has probably never been done before. I think that I also came across that last article that you mentioned. Though it's hard to say for sure. They are all starting to blend together at this point...
