Use this checklist before, during, and after a lesson to keep instructional technology purposeful. Before, it prompts you to match tools to your goal, confirm they support ASL, visual learning, and English literacy, and make sure every student can use them. During, it checks that technology is embedded in the lesson and that students are actively using it to communicate and show learning. It also guides responsible use of AI, keeping it a support for authentic ASL modeling rather than a replacement. Closing questions help you plan one adjustment and note any coaching you need.
