The document outlines an agenda for a foreign language pre-conference workshop. The workshop aims to teach language teachers how to use technology to support student language learning. It includes sessions on using online comics, digital animations, Google Classroom, and making movies in the classroom. Participants will learn hands-on and have time to work in groups to practice the skills and share outcomes.
