I selected 3 ISTE Standards for Educators to focus on: (1) Understand why we need to teach digital literacy skills to adult ELLs, (2) Explore multiple tech tools, and (3) Plan to integrate some tools into the classroom. I created a Google Slides presentation with the EdTech tools that I have successfully used over the years and developed a Google Sites website so that instructors could have access to the materials after the workshop.

I created a Google Slides presentation describing my students and teaching situation, rationale behind why I developed my course in the way that I did, and things I would change in future iterations of the course. Then, I created a video to highlight the layout and specific activities of my Canvas course.
