This episode is for you to learn, find out, and get excited about the possibilities of technology in your classroom. I will not be talking about ChatGPT or AI tools, simply because I am still exploring how they can be used ethically by both teachers and students in the classroom. However, I will be giving you tips and tricks on how to use my top three technology tools.

What you will hear about in this episode:

• Website and platforms that I use frequently and used to teach all language domains to English learners
• How to implement Google Docs, Slides and Sheets as a teaching tool
• Using Canva to create presentations, worksheets, assign projects, and even use as a language lesson
• Ways you can use Pear Deck to create interactive lessons to get a better understanding of where your students are in their learning
