  for language teachers is technology in and surrounding our community of p
 ractice. Now\, this can be seen negatively or positively. Teachers\, learn
 ers\, and by extension all those connected to the language education field
  face the challenge of selecting appropriate tools and learning how to use
  them. The aim of these TnT Workshops is to help participants in attendanc
 e navigate their way through the exciting array of educational technologie
 s available\, select those that are appropriate for their context\, and le
 arn how to effectively make use of them in their educational environments.
  The TnT workshop leaders\, are experts with the techniques and technologi
 es they will demonstrate\, will offer guidance on using specific technolog
 ies\, and share ways to best integrate the technologies with language teac
 hing and education practices. \nTnT Plenary \nNameTitle: Abstract:  Bi

 s are our digital offering\, while the PD workshops are our more analog of
 fering. At these workshops you can learn more about\, for example\, data a
 nalysis approaches for your research study\, writing abstracts\, developin
 g ideas for research studies\, how to enhance your resume\, troubleshootin
 g a thesis or dissertation proposal\, career planning\, etc. Technology ma
 y be a dominant feature in our lives as the global pandemic forced educato
 rs and learners alike to develop new cyber competencies. The times also pu
 shed educators\, learners\, researchers\, etc. to hone their other compete
 ncies. The PD workshops are JALTs way to provide additional support to our
  community of practice.\nPD Plenary \nName\n \nTitle: \nAbstract: \nCo
