Examples of creative,interactive and multisensory ways of learning and enriching the linguistic resources(e.g.: IWB, Storybird, Wordle, Tagxedo, Voicethread, Vocaroo, Voki), are referred to. Selecteddigital tools have been tested by UJK students while teaching lessons to secondand third grade learners of primary school.
