This video presents an effective process with which to critically assess a technology for language teaching purposes. The process includes assessing the ‘value-add’, constraints, and applications of the technology. We will then put this process into practice by evaluating a technology for use in the language classroom. By the end of this video, participants will be able to confidently and effectively evaluate new technologies for integration into their teaching repertoire.
