An introduction to BookWidgets for MFL teachers

BookWidgets is an interactive tool which allows you to create fun interactive exercises for any device (chromebooks, smartphones, tablets, PCs). You can also create automatically graded tests and give students feedback very easily. It integrates fully with Google Classroom.

In this TILT session, organised by the Association for Language Learning and supported by Linguascope, we explore some of the 40+ widgets (interactive exercises) you can create with BookWidgets, including audio tasks and self marking quizzes.

In addition she has the role of “Google Leader”, leading staff and student training in the use of G Suite and chromebooks. She is excited by the opportunities education technology can offer.
