Educational technology is everywhere- but what does the research have to say? Does it help students to learn languages? In what way? Can #edtech increase teachers’ effectiveness and save us time? And perhaps the most asked question: what are some introductory technology tools that fit within the world language classroom? A look at the research around implementing technology into learning, and then an interview with Rachel Lucas, a leader in educational technology who is an ed tech coach and also a Spanish teacher. Rachel shares what teachers should consider before deciding on which programs to use in their classrooms, plus gives excellent recommendations for specific tools that help teachers teach more efficiently, engage their students, and really revolutionize their teaching.
