@JessVilneff Cute pictures! What is wonderful about this is not only her ability to share them...but the fact that the content can now be immortalized digitally. Good job

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@tea_paluzzi @YEPeducation Wow, what a great resource! Is this website free?

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@MrdYep @YEPeducation Have you considered getting a heartrate monitor for her like a fitbit? They're on sale this weekend for Black Friday. Could be useful to help her track her progress and activity.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@Ms_Salatino @YEPeducation Learning never ends. My learner/mom decided to continue engaging with the game I taught her as well! Dialogue is important and its really nice that your Nanna can count on you : )

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@YEPCassidy @YEPeducation Maybe soon she will be showing you some fun apps!

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@Brandon13065250 @YEPeducation Perfect timing for the conclusion of the placement! With this new found knowledge, you guys can bond more too! Good job!

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

My learner/mom & I concluded the YEP placement this week but she will continue learning #CallofDuty. For our final lesson we simply enjoyed practicing/playing everything taught so far but more loosely. Mom even decided to get the new PS5 console! @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@Brandon13065250 @YEPeducation I don't fully understand the rules to this game but its pretty awesome that your learner was able to beat you lol The teacher may learn a lesson or two from the student!

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@MsCCapogna @YEPeducation This is perfectly aligned with the upcoming lockdown in parts of the city lol Hope he can greater enjoy his leisure time with what you taught him today.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@kmyall13 @YEPeducation I have so much mature family members that still solely go to the bank in person. This is a great step in making life easier. Perhaps also warn her of the potential dangers of phishing and such on smartphones!

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@empower611 @YEPeducation I like that you guys used "what is" questions to keep the feedback simple and less abstract. Hope you received valuable feedback from this.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@DeannaYEP @YEPeducation This is a simple tip that adds so much convenience! I see that you used instructional advice from one of our first YEP classes :)

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

After using a question matrix, observation and discussion we discovered that for the learner to improve she had to focus her practice on neglected skills. This week there was an emphasis on melee attacks. Mom is becoming formidable! @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

Below is the self assessment used with my learner this week. We hope that it helps us both to gain a clearer perspective of our progress and take greater responsibility towards our work. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@jeremy_class @YEPeducation It is really interesting seeing the science that goes into a joke. Hope we can see your learner make one some time!

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@GarrettHack1 I like that you used what we learned about in the last YEP zoom session. This encourages students to critically reflect on their learning/progress and even be more responsible.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@Brandon13065250 Awesome progress man! As you may know, I am also teaching my learner/mother a game. It would be really cool if either of them can beat us eventually lol

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@JaycieC8 @YEPeducation Definitely take advantage of this before winter is in full swing! Great that your learner is incorporating previous teachings into current exercise.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@YepKate Now he can learn while he learns! @joerogan's podcast is really popular.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

@Brandon13065250 @YEPeducation Yup! On Oct 31st we tweeted one of the exercises that helped reinforce familiarity with the controller button functions in this particular game.

[Christian Salloum @SalloumYep]

We learn by practice. This is a realization my learner and I are coming to. She can now enjoy the game independently as she is familiar with controls and hardware/software setup. Here is a clip of mom getting her first kill in #CallofDuty! @YEPeducation #letsteachadults
