FYI for college/university students and their families: you can vote anytime between now and the election via special ballot at any Elections Canada Office. Especially helpful since there is no Campus Vote program this year.

@ESL_fairy Wow! This is amazing. Thanks for sharing @ESL_fairy and @MrsParkShine !

Whoa. I had no idea that doing a Google search with a vocabulary word and “pronunciation” brings up an audio of the word, a visual of how lips form the word, and allows the student to record their own voice and offers colour-coded corrections. So cool!! #WRDSBesl #WRDSbonline

@Toppel_ELD Tried something similar during virtual learning. When giving a break, set a timer, ask a question, and provide a stem. For example, "When we come back from break, tell us one thing you can see from your window." One thing I can see from my window is __________.

1A2 Whether in-person or virtual, I have been most successful when limiting the number of new activities and technology tools. A consistent daily routine, with built-in language expectations, is important for everyone. #ELLChat_BkClub 30.0 #MotivatingELLs by @draLBescalante

@HeatherMoraal @Toppel_ELD I use songs/music with my students (grades 6-8) to introduce and review content vocabulary (for example, the water cycle, Canadian provinces, units of measurement). I share the link to the video so they can listen again, share with a sibling, or revisit to study. Seems to work.

[Megan Turner @Mturnermc]

@Toppel_ELD TikTok can be great motivation for our students! I found that using an experiment with a known outcome helped me focus more on the language of the scientific process and lowered the affective filter (grade 6 to 8 ELD classroom).

@NataliaESL @ValentinaESL Thank you for sharing!

I told my family I had a work thing tonight. They asked me when I was leaving. (Walks two steps to the dining table) umm.... #ADSBlearns

@MsSalvac @JohnSeidlitz @MrsGill_ Every time I see QSSSA referenced, I think “What a good idea.”...Finally tried in my ELD class today and it is a GREAT idea! Level of engagement and quality of writing were both up. Thanks!

[Megan Turner @Mturnermc]

@MsSalvac @ZachRBrain @TheAmandaGorman @DerekRhodenizer Thank you for the inspiration! My ELL students listened for keywords and phrases in @TheAmandaGorman's poem and used these sketchnotes as a model for drawing pictures to match a message.
