Enabling Participatory, Connected and Reflective English Language Learning

How can I harness educational technology effectively to foster active learning in a blend of in-person and online learning contexts in my EL classroom? What will I use to guide the design of my lessons, and the selection and use of educational technology tools in these contexts? How will I know if I have applied e-pedagogy and blended learning effectively in the teaching of EL?
