CMC Tools

There are a HUGE number of online tools that are potentially useful for us as language educators.  Some (e.g. websites like mylanguageexchange.com) are specifically designed for aiding language learning.  However, the vast majority are "neutral" online tools that we, as teachers, may use to enhance language learning if we are creative.   Professors Sadler and Dooly provide a PARTIAL list below of some tools that may be useful.

Some of you might select one of these tools for your Technical Review assignment as part of this course.  However, keep in mind that this is just a small selection.  We STRONGLY encourage you to explore--go beyond this list and discover a new tool that you can share with your classmates (and professors!).  These tools are listed in no particular order, and you'll notice that we give no hints as to how you might use them.   Many of them are free, and some have free trials.  Explore and consider the possibilities!
Please note:  I don't have any apps on this list (though some of these have apps) so feel free to check out your favorite phone/pad app store as well!!
