@KarinaC86673566 @JoePeccia @pbcsd Your students look like they are having so much fun! I bet they had the best time sharing their experiences with one another. Perfect opportunity to practice social skills!

@TeachThought I had never thought about using virtual reality in the classroom before. Students will definitely remember the experiences created by using VR. I specifically love the opportunity for engagement and social sharing in the classroom with VR!

Virtual reality in the classroom can be used to facilitate student interactions with data or environments to create experiences not otherwise possible.

Virtual reality can be integrated into every subject area/curriculum. Students can travel the world, experience different occupations, and even learn anatomy. I like the idea of using virtual reality in the classroom! #EDU214

"New evidence, however, suggests that regularly speaking more than one language can delay age-related cognitive decline and may even delay the onset of dementia" #eng211sp21 https://t.co/4RQK0J1Lev

Watching the Myths About Bilingual Children video I was shocked to find out some professionals believe children will be delayed if they are to learn 2 languages. As the speaker explains, there are actually a number of advantages! #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

I agree with Myth #11 in stating the views of a language being beautiful or ugly are built on cultural norms. #eng211sp21

I'm looking forward this week's module on Language Acquisition #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

@odblt @CKellyNSC That's my thought process too! 😅

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

@Luckyaims1 @SandraBradbur14 It is a completely new concept to me! It seems it may be helpful or maybe just extra work. 😅

@NatalieNestero2 Very interesting!

Foreign Accent Syndrome, although very rare, can occur after a traumatic brain injury #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

I am surprised I have never been asked to do an annotative bibliography before. It seems like a great tool to use when writing a research paper. #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

My topic for our research paper correlates to my future career. A traumatic brain injury can cause speech, language, thinking, and swallowing problems. Speech Language Pathologists treat these problems. #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

All languages have a grammatical structure. It is impossible for language to have to have no grammar. #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

A hypernym is a broad term for a group of products. A hyponym is a term for an item in the group that the hypernym describes. For example, flower is a hypernym for rose or daisy. #eng211sp21

@odblt How interesting! I never thought about forensics and linguistics together.

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

Have you ever heard the phrase, "that's just semantics." It means picking apart the meaning of a word to draw a different conclusion. Semantics is the study of the relationship between words and how we draw meaning from those words. #eng211sp21

[Alyssa Wachter @AWachterNSC]

The speech produced by a person who has traumatic brain injury may be slow, slurred, and difficult or impossible to understand. #eng211sp21
