75 and Flipbooks) to explain basic concepts, vocabulary, and procedures. He also directed students to accessible supplementary resources available on YouTube, Youglish, ESLVideo.com, Tutela, and Avenue. • As students progressed in their studies, Bo used AI technology in assignments (e.g., having students use Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, or Google’s Assistant to search for specific information) and comprehension improvement exercises (e.g., Poodll ReadAloud on Avenue). • To stay abreast of current theory and research related to technology use, Bo attends webinars on trending technology, watches videos on new product releases, takes tutorials on how to use new programs, and networks with other instructors to share information on how they are using technology to enhance language learning. Standard 6: Communicating with learners and observing their progress. Use technology to support, monitor, and assess learner progress. • To demonstrate knowledge of available resources to support learners, Bo takes pains to match student needs with appropriate language-learning tools. This entails “filtering” software and websites to make sure they are at the right level of complexity for the language level being taught and don’t include distracting or inappropriate advertising or other distractions. • Bo maintains communication with learners and education stakeholders using a variety of oneway and two-way communication tools. Examples of one-way information-sharing tools are Forum pages and Avenue Blocks. Two-way communication includes Email, instant messaging (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Avenue Message Drawer), and virtual meetings (e.g., MS Teams, Zoom, Google Meet). • Bo uses data analysis when appropriate to guide learner progress. This may entail: • Using file storing tools to secure artifacts (e.g., File, E-portfolio). • Applying appropriate tagging system to categorize artifacts by type, skill level, and assessment criteria. • Using software tools to track student progress and participation (e.g., Progress Tracker, Checklist, Gradebook, and class logs). • Bo also uses technology to support learner reflection, self-evaluation, and peer evaluation. This includes encouraging the use of private and open Blogs, Wikis, Forum posts, and Moodle’s Workshop peer assessment activity.
