Whether you are teaching solely online or managing to combine your online lessons with some socially distanced, face to face teaching as I am, technology is where it’s at.

Technophobe or Technophile? Are you already using technology in the classroom?
On our CELTA courses it has often fallen to me to deliver our session on using technology in the classroom.

This is of course not a problem, as good teaching practice suggests, I draw on their knowledge and use it to my (our) advantage.
In order to try and get one step ahead, or at least in line with the target audience, I picked up a copy of Bringing Technology into the Classroom by Gordon Lewis, published by Oxford University Press.
