Welcome to another episode of SimpleK12's 2 Minute EdTech Talk, where educators integrate technology - in just two minutes! The goal? To share, to collaborate, and most of all – to help and encourage teachers to try new forms of technology in their own classrooms.

This episode of 2 Minute EdTech Talk is with Dave Dodgson, English as a second language teacher in Ankara, Turkey.
