During a Maryland TESOL Spring Event entitled the "EdTech Maker Space: ESL Story Banks", we gathered 30 Maryland TESOL educators to participate in an innovative service learning opportunity. Over the course of a month, these educators were trained in Jamboard, Wakelet, and the Color Vowel Chart, and immediately applied their growth as they created interactive activities using Literacy Minnesota's ESL Story Banks. The ESL Story Banks are designed for Pre-Beginning and Beginning learners. As a result of the project, Maryland TESOL shares with you these Wakelets, which contain the Story Banks themselves, along with Jamboard and Flippity activities that can be used with adult learners.
