Episode 65 - 3 Tech Tools that Work Wonderfully in the EL Classroom

The ESL Teaching Podcast

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
