Abstract
Can our students learn languages online? What are the technologies available that can assist instructors that are unwilling to sacrifice the face-to-face interaction of the traditional classroom? Participants of this session will discuss ways that we, as educators, can integrate technology in the Foreign Language classroom without sacrificing true communication.

This session should particularly benefit those language teachers who are searching for new and innovative strategies to integrate technology. It will also benefit those that might be contemplating taking the leap into ether the blended or fully online platform. The presentation will include an interactive discussion and demonstration of the effective use of some of the applications of technology in the Spanish classroom.
