Prior to starting the MAFLT program, I was hesitant to implement technology in my planning and lesson creation. When the COVID lockdowns started, so did emergency remote learning. A year of distance learning followed and my MAFLT class: Teaching Foreign Language with Technology started at the same time. Technology quickly became my closest ally in lesson delivery and throughout the class, I gained the skills and confidence to command a variety of web based tools in new ways. Below you will find examples that represent my strongest technology-based creations.

New ways to use an old tool for Interpersonal writing:
Not all schools provide access to Google Classroom, which has a discussion feature, however, most teachers are familiar with Docs. This is an interpersonal writing activity that uses Docs in a collaborative way for groups of students to carry on a discussion.

Using technology for the sake of checking off a box is not guaranteed to produce new or better results in our students' language acquisition. Below is a detailed description of the research that informed my choices for the evidence above .
