This document summarizes a presentation about utilizing technology to develop communities of inquiry in language classrooms. It provides examples of frameworks for incorporating various technologies into lessons, such as using collaborative documents, audio/video recording tools, and online discussion boards. It also lists over 20 different web-based tools that can be used for activities like collaborative writing, polling, annotation, and video/audio recording. Overall, the presentation advocates for thoughtfully integrating technology to enhance learning rather than replacing traditional methods, and using tools that encourage student collaboration, communication, and participation in a "learning ecology."
