SpeakersSpeakers

Susan Dreger Cool techy tools for 21st Century learners

(ESO & Batxillerat)

Nowadays, it’s a difficult task engaging our digital natives. By using Web 2.0 tools to captivate our 21st century learners, the aim is to engage them in tasks which enable them to be creative, active learners. English has to be used as a means of communicating and by integrating collaborative tools, students are able to create and share their work with others within their class, school or around the globe!

Mª Jesús Páramo At least they speak!
