I am building this list of digital tools as I am learning about them to help teachers of English get familiar with them and give them a glimpse of their application and possible uses. You will find examples of how I have used them with my students.
It is always important to remember what we want to use a digital tool for, only after you have taken all the pedagogical decisions for your lesson plan, instead of thinking 'What a nice tool! What can I use this for?' and build a lesson around it.
