Digital Must-haves in a Classroom of 2025 | Laura Broadbent

This session explores using digital tools to amplify teaching, addressing teachers’ diverse requirements and student engagement. The speaker advises using an “everyday tool” like ChatGPT to align with one’s teaching philosophy (e.g., inclusive, practical, global perspective), then identifying other tools to support these approaches. Featured tools include Mentimeter for warm-ups, Adobe Firefly for images, Diffit for text differentiation, 11 Labs for audio, Coloring.app for younger learners, Canva for creative tasks, Google Forms for surveys, and Sunno for vocabulary songs. The emphasis is on quick, objective-driven use of tools and exploring free trials to save time and enhance learning.
