How can we use technology to increase participation and engagement on DAY 1 with multilingual Learners? In this episode, I talk with technology and EL experts and educators Dr. Irina McGrath, Michelle Shory, Jenny Vo, and Katie Gardner, each who come with vast and varied professional and personal experiences. They offer words of caution about using technology and much more to help us understand how we can leverage tech as students acquire language.
