Sleepy Slides

Digibook Workshop

It’s time to move beyond sleepy presentation slides.
In this Digibook Workshop for ESOL teachers, you’ll learn how to transform PowerPoint or Google Slides into a highly interactive classroom tool that learners actively use—during lessons and at home.

Digibooks blend a textbook and learner notebook into one shared digital space. Teachers design them to support collaboration, capture learner language, and make progress visible. Learners access digibooks on phones or tablets, add text and images, respond to tasks, and revisit the same book after class.

What you’ll explore

  • Collaboration that works – shared tasks, peer feedback, and group problem-solving

  • Live marking – respond in real time as learners work

  • Activity design – practical tasks that generate usable learner language

  • Evidence of progress – clear records built naturally over time

Why digibooks work

  • Encourage active participation from every learner
  • Create a continuous learning journey between class and home
  • Leave teachers with clear, usable evidence of learning
active participation

Who it’s for

  • ESOL teachers who want practical, low-friction ways to make lessons more interactive, collaborative, and evidence-rich—using tools they already know.
