During our workshop we will start by discussing barriers to edtech use and issues that may occur using the BYOD format. Following this we will introduce and discuss various APPs for use in the classroom and show examples of student work created using the APPs. The last part of the workshop will involve a ‘hands-on’ approach whereby you will be given a typical language learning activity and asked to use your own devices to reformulate the task to a BYOD format.
