Fabulingua: A tool for language teachers and students that can be used in the classroom by engaging kids with lively, interactive stories in other languages to help them learn news words, language, and ways of speaking.
Nearpod: Great app to make lessons more engaging and interactive. Allows teachers to create slide-based lessons with interactive features (images, audio, video, checks for understanding, written feedback, etc.), and can be especially useful for remote learning.
Google Translate: Awesome tool for ESL students for translating class readings into native language to check understanding, and to get their meaning across when writing in English. Also useful in Foreign language classes for translation practice.
Google Read and Write: Excellent tool for accommodations for ESL and students with disabilities. This app is easily added into Google docs, and allows students to dictate their words into a microphone (speech-to-text), and also have text read to them (text-to-speech).
Flipgrid: This app can be used in classroom to allow students and teachers to create videos for a variety of lesson functions, such as: demonstrating understanding, watching a lecture, recalling facts or details about text, etc. Very interactive and engaging for students, also promotes agency and collaboration.
