Episode Summary
Technology has increasingly become an integral part of teaching. Honestly, I cannot imagine teaching a lesson without it. Of course, I would if I needed to and I would have to adapt. It just makes things so much faster and easier. Pulling up an image to complement the topic. Checking the correct MLA format. Grabbing precise definitions for the vocabulary words you want your students to learn. And with the advent of AI last year, the technology game has become an even more intricate dance. We ask ourselves which tools are reliable, how to use them ethically, what can our students use, and how we can make AI work for us, not the other way around. So in today’s episode, I want to share with you how to use AI to help your students access content, three AI tools that have made my teaching life easier this year and how I use them to move my students forward in their English learning journey.
