The following assemblage includes various media types that work to explore the personal transformations that occurred throughout the Technology, Languages and Education course at the University of Ottawa. The major elements that are discussed include equity, sustainability and multimodality. Equity is a common topic regarding classroom culture, however the way in which technology can assist in that endeavour is not as discussed, despite the many applications and implications it can have. The development and creation of technology has many negative environmental impacts, resulting in the need to design and use technology with intention, in order to increase sustainability. The multimodality of technology, and the resources readily available, can aid educators in teaching to all learners, regardless of their abilities, learning preferences or language. These elements and more have had great, positive impacts on my journey as a teacher becoming in CALL, inviting insight and greater perspective as my journey in education continues.
