Full description: Technology integration into the World Language classroom encompasses multiple levels of purpose, outcomes, and tools. Beyond the basics of assessment and review, there are tech tools which foster growth in linguistic confidence, language production, and comprehension. In this virtual workshop, we will explore tools that will inspire and support learners in presentational and interpersonal tasks, such as Screencastify, Storybird, and Seesaw. Additionally, we will discuss thoughtful objectives when choosing technology tools to support language acquisition. All of the tools demonstrated in this workshop can be used at any proficiency level and for a wide variety of themes and topics. Participants will view and interact with several projects created with the tools explained in the workshop, and they will receive unit design ideas and links to student samples. Attendees may request PDH or CEU contact hour recognition.
