Educational technology you enjoy using

I taught an ESL class this week and integrated a YouTube clip into the lesson. It was mainly used for reinforcement and as an introduction to the topic. This also helped break down some critical need to know information prior to the rest of the lesson to help understand the topic within the genre. I delivered the clip via a smart TV but have used a PC and projector in the past to achieve the same result. Integrating YouTube into the lesson can relate to Knowles Theory of connectivism, where technology is used as one of the steps of forming connections with the learner and technology. My second piece of technology I tend to like as a teacher are eBooks. I like how eBooks are interactive forming a connection with learners. Learners can use basic search techniques to locate and scan specific information within a book, which results in finding relevant information quicker.
