Example strategies that use technology to support communication in the classroom: Host a TED-style conference or showcases for your students to present original ideas on a topic of interest to them to an authentic, external audience. Record and post the videos to a youtube stream. Provide opportunities to listen and ask questions through back channel tools like Today’s Meet or even Twitter. Have your students publish their work through blogs, by creating websites, and by building other online resources that are shared with authentic audiences.
