What an incredible presentation! On 24 July, Joe Dale shared with the 35 participants the latest digital tools and demonstrated AI applications specifically tailored to enrich the teaching and learning of French.
During the 1.5 hour session, Joe showed us some clear and practical examples on how to use those technology effectively and answered the questions from the participants. Joe’s expertise was extremely well received and his presentation engaging and eye-opening!
We were all left asking for more, so keep your eyes peeled for more Tech it easy! Sessions in 2025!
