Remember to use QR codes!
Create a QR code link to an interactive phonemic chart so that student can use it to work on their pronunciation and use their phone to record themselves.
Have a QR code at the entrance to the school which links to a welcome video or info video about the school.
Create QR codes for recommended audio books or podcasts for students to listen to.

Use technology if…1) You have a clearly defined task and a clearly
defined time frame in which to achieve the task2) You are going to tell your SS why you are using it
and what for3) The tools are a means to an end (=the learning
objectives)4) If you are going to tell your SS how to use it to
achieve what you want5) You are not afraid that your SS teach you6) You start small. Don’t try to integrate many digital
tools at once
