@Steph_Sukow @WeVideo PD is awesome! I love it and learning so many new things. Also, been trying to get back into the swing of picking up a book of some kind during this time. Any suggestions?

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

TA: We are all in this together! I loved learning about different methods used, and all the wonderful suggestions! Thank you all for sharing! We’ve got this!! #langchat

A5. I’m thinking of trying to implement Flipgrid more! As of now, students had been assigned a culture project which they are using some of their Google tools, aka slides, docs, etc. to create their presentation and submit. #langchat

@KaraQuigley6 @mmeshep Kara, this is so cool! I love this! One of my students mentioned about paella today and he’s going to try and make it. He said he’d film a video to show us all if he does! Great way to use context and culture together. #langchat

@teachermrw This is SO awesome! I bet students had so much fun getting to partake in this. It must’ve been great! #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

What an amazing idea! I love this — no greater way to demonstrate, practice and interact. It’s such a wonderful way to connect! #langchat

A4: Ohh how this can be a challenge. Right now, we talk a bit in our Google Meets but I hope to use Flipgrid and Padlet after spring break. I would like to find Ss from a Sp spk country to participate. #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

@ProfeGlobalSC It’s a fantastic idea and really intriguing things to think about. I love this idea. Please update if you do continue with! #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

A4. Right now, we have been using Google Meets and also responding to, leaving feedback, and corresponding via discussion boards and comments together. I’ve used Flipgrid before but want to find ways to implement it more into what we are doing. #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

@MachadoProfe @mmeshep I love this! Flipgrid is a great way to reconnect with students, interact with one another, is easy to turn in, etc.
I want to use this more!! #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

A3. I upload videos on Loom or YouTube to an unlisted channel with my PT explaining PowerPoints and instruction. I also use Sr. Wooly videos and use worksheets, etc. which are posted in Google Classroom. #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

@mmeshep Yes, I am! Today's meet didn't focus on instruction. We just took time today to reconnect with each other and discuss any questions, concerns, how everyone is doing, anything interesting/fun that is going on, and so forth. This is my first time using this - love it! #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

A2. I use GClassroom to upload, leave feedback/answer questions, etc. for my students. I'm avail. through email! I wrote students & parents/guardians a letter with contact info & to check in. Every Wed. I host a Google Meet chat to class reconnect & touch base. #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

I love the Instagram idea! How cool! I also host Google Meets on Wednesdays. I actually had one today, as it was the first one and best day for most students to join in. I loved getting to see everyone's faces again! It was great just to reconnect us all. #langchat

[Madame Dawn Michael @madamednmichael]

A2: I created an Instagram account and reached out to some of the kids there. I'm doing check-ins via remind messaging just to see how they are doing -I really don't care about French. And I had a Google meet for Fr 3 yesterday just so they could check in #langchat

[Ava Dearing @msdearing_]

@ProfeGlobalSC Thank YOU! There's nothing greater! #langchat

A1. YAY, GIFS!!!
It's going... Learning lots of new things. Plowing my way through the stress, but remaining positive. I miss my students and being in the classroom. It is truly a learning experience for all of us! #langchat
