Brent is an EdTech enthusiast who spends his “down time” encouraging teachers to redefine their relationship with technology through workshops, presentations, and his podcast and blog at www.EdTech.tv. Breaking ESL out of the Language Classroom One major challenge ESL students face in California is time exposed to L2. For many, local communities and the convenience of technology may mean little to no English is practiced outside the classroom. This workshop explores how technology can help us encourage students to bring their new language skills with them everywhere they go. |
