Thank you to those who attended and presented at our April and December MAALLT Tech Slams!
MAALLT was excited to hold its Tech Slam 2! on December 6, 2022. Thank you to all who presented and attended! A “tech slam” is like a poetry slam, but with each presenter speaking about a technology, app, solution, or technology-supported practice for language learning for 5 minutes.
