#NCEdEquity I am making a commitment to reflect on my unconscious biases daily, and take steps to include & encourage multiple perspectives and voices in my classroom. I will have courageous conversations and respect student voices! INCREDIBLE day 1, can’t wait for tomorrow!!

[Heidi Trude @htrude07]

TA: Be kind to yourself during this time! Know that we are all here and will support each other. Much love to my #langchat family 💗

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

This is awesome! #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

Q5 #langchat I want to really focus on online organization and engaging student with digital tools as well as in-person engagement. Digital literacy is everything right now!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

A3 #langchat I have really appreciated my partnership mentor, @StaceySMom2Leo and my university sponsor, @ProfeRandolph !! And of course my fellow interns, some are here in this chat!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

Love this! I do something similar, it's such a great way to create normalcy in such a weird situation! #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

A2 I have been leaving detailed comments on students work and checking in with them weekly to see how they are doing via email and weekly google meetings! It's really nice to be able to see and hear each other! #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

@srta_mayoesp Lawren, same here! My students seem to appreciate the asynchronous schedule because it allows them to work within whatever they have going on at home! #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

Hi! I’m Rebecca and I teach Spanish in Wilmington, NC! #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat TA: It's nice to know we have a community of language teachers out there to share ideas with! Things are uncertain so patience is key right now. Thank you all for the ideas!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat I know my students are using Google Translate and it's so frustrating to be unable to do anything about it! Honestly, no clue how to avoid it.

[Madame Dawn Michael @madamednmichael]

A5: honestly, I'm not doing a lot of this. I'm not there to help them, and I don't really want them to use Google Translate to do this, which they will 🤷🏽‍♀️. I had level 3 do some writing. Level 1 doing short flipgrid.#langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

Kara! I love this- so creative!

[Kara Quigley @KaraQuigley6]

@mmeshep A5: I am currently doing a food unit so I had my students create a meal plan for the week with the food that they can find in their house. I also gave them the option to talk about an authentic dish from a Spanish speaking country via FlipGrid #langchat

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat A5 I had Ss create posters(digital or hand drawn for my artist Ss) or videos to present ways to maintain self-care!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat A4 I will admit, I am struggling to achieve this one. Padlet is great and flipgrid is as well! I think its more important than ever for Ss to connect with the interpersonal in this time of isolation!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

Love the idea of getting Ss to speak with Ss in Spanish Speaking country! Great way to connect the students! #langchat

[Katie Haney @ProfeGlobalSC]

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

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat A3 https://t.co/Im0Uum82gU! I highly recommend. Offers many languages, and translations to english. The Ss loved getting a new perspective on the fairytales they love and some new ones!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

#langchat A2 Weekly chats on Google meet, remind messages and emails to check in with students! I also like to do assignment where the Ss get to interact with their peers, chat, and post pictures!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

@ProfeGlobalSC I think its been about 3 weeks but this week is Spring Break! Thank goodness! I am lucky to have a Partnership Teacher to work with through this!

[Rebecca Dillard @RDillard98]

A1 #langchat I am just in a constant state of denial and confusion. Questioning every step I take.
