The ever-increasing number of tools and free multimedia software can be confusing and even daunting for teachers. Choosing an appropriate technology-based tool to use in the classroom should not be random. Every tool that the teacher uses should serve a specific, clear goal. Participants in this hands-on workshop explore a variety of strategies and technology-based tools that are designed to build students’ communication skills and to encourage personal responsibility for learning within the language classroom. These strategies address the 21st-century skills and the ACTFL’s World-readiness standards such as communication, collaboration, and culture.
