Coming back to Twitter after 1.5 years of absence. Life happened with its full force. But I’m back ready to continue sharing ideas and suggestions for learning Spanish @Erikalanguages

@dudasdeingles I like riding my bike during the 5 Boro cycling event in NYC. You cycle through the 5 boroughs of NYC. Super fun! Muy divertido!

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@dudasdeingles We use a lot the present progressive in English, but not so much in Spanish...unless when we are describing an action that is happening right at that moment.

When technology integration is being successful, a child or teacher, doesn't stop to think that he or she is using a technology tool; it becomes natural. Students are also more engaged in projects and it becomes a normal part of their learning process. #INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

Integrating technology is not only when students are using technology daily, but it is also defining what kind of access students have to technology, what kind of technology is available to them and how they are using this technology. #INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

Integrating technology in to teaching opened a world of infinite resources for teachers and students. I was overwhelmed with the amount of information available, but at the same time amazed at all the tools we have available for teaching #INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

A flipped learning strategy has endless benefits. It can easily engage students in learning by providing them material they can review at their own pace, their own time, and it targets all type of learners. #INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

I liked the project page. It gives the student the opportunity to apply knowledge by writing and drawing. I also find important to give them assessments to track their progress. #indt501 @lseal_INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

Augmented reality definitely keeps students of all ages hooked (including adults) Any subject becomes interesting and fun to learn #INDT501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@TeachArt4Life So far working at a private school, all of the kids own an iPad, iPhone or some sort of electronic. I wonder if small rural communities have access to this type of technology to use in classrooms.

@lalishaaa @dudasdeingles Red flag-bandera roja. Doesn’t quite translate...ha! Sospechoso? Dudoso?

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

How can I say “será” in English? Like the song “Será” de Ricardo Montaner. Don’t know how to translate that in to English. @dudasdeingles

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@dudasdeingles I am trilingual. I would’ve never guessed what baser was. Too funny!

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

Interactive White Board Activity is a great tool to help visual learners, and for teaching a foreign language. Infinite options. #indt501

@jessicamdemers This comic depicts what I've been through 20 years ago when trying to fit into the world of technology in the 21st. century. #indt501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

I think Information Literacy comes naturally to Net Geners. The key as educators is to help them recognize facts from fiction. #indt501

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@flatterac Exactly! Maybe they can't really perceive the consequences of being out there forever. Some adults do! Imagine children.

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@R0YG81V True! boundaries and rules are necessary. Children can get easily distracted with social media. #INDT501 @R0YG81V

[Erika Shaughnessy @Erikalanguages]

@TeachArt4Life I agree. That's why creating rules and policies can help students to focus using social media for their studies. #INDT501
