Planning the Integration of Technologies in ESL
Overview of the course
Welcome to your "Planning the Integration of Technologies in ESL online training, Visiteur anonyme! We're thrilled to have you join us on this journey of learning and discovery.
The intention of this online course is to present different ways to integrate digital technology to your learning activities. This course provides different examples and tutorials with free tools that can be used on all devices. Integrating technology to your class does not have to be complex but it does need to suit the learning intentions. This course is all about making technology work for you and your students.
Step by step, you’ll explore how to:

Along the way, you’ll earn badges that celebrate your progress.
