This chapter suggests tools and skills that a language revitalizer might need when incorporating new technology into language revitalization. It emphasizes that skills can be acquired gradually on the basis of current needs. Technology should be integrated appropriately into language teaching, with an iterative process for evaluating which tools are the right ones for the job. Issues around privacy and safety (particularly important when working with children) and ownership (which has historically affected Indigenous and minority communities disproportionately) are addressed. Appropriate use of technology in revitalization contexts is discussed, with examples of apps that may be useful for particular purposes and domains. Much of what can be accomplished with technology is best seen as an extension of learning, and one should always choose the resource to match the need, rather than being driven by the technology. The capsules describe the applications of video documentation in Passamaquoddy to new language revival projects; lessons learned from the development of online resources in Welsh; and the digital inclusion initiative Rising Voices.
