@modernclassproj Can you point me to resources for world language teachers?

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@mtholfsen, I have my 1st students completing an assignment with Teams Reading Progress in Spanish today. It is working perfectly so far!

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@techrankin @mtholfsen @hoyty Long term, @mtholfsen, it would be an improvement if the PDF or Doc were presented in it's complete form, I think @techrakin and I agree.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

World Language #Teachers, Reading Progress in #msteams is a game changer in tracking and assessing s, saving you SO much time! It works in #Spanish! Thanks @hoyty for helping set it up and @mtholfsen!

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@techrankin @mtholfsen @hoyty @techrakin, What I do is attach the PDF in Teams along with the text. S can read the PDF with images side by side so they don't lose the context clues.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@mtholfsen @techrankin @hoyty I can say that I did not have to specify that the text was in Spanish. The auto detect worked for me.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@Mr_Rablin @Mr_Rablin, I agree with your point, but I think this shows the trust that S have in you. They feel that if they get a good grade from you, they'll have learned. I know you get them to think more deeply about the way they express that.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

Fun and games! We are getting back to books, paper, and especially face to face language learning! I'll be sharing my learning through play approach this year. What are your favorites? #edutwitter #worldlanguages #gamification

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

Interesting targets from improving instruction. None of us needs more to do, but many of these improve the pay me now / pay me later dilemmas we can face with Ss https://t.co/GCgcn20kUZ

@hoyty I mean, with all the money they're throwing his way...

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

The kids are on campus my school. They are in very safe conditions, given the circumstances. In one class today, I was teaching in person to 11 students, and via Teams video to 10 in another classroom with a co-teacher who couldn’t get the AV equipment to work, 4 more in 1/4

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@Mr_Rablin @Leprofdhistoire shared this with me https://t.co/DKrQLQMYff. I think if you have kids in a range of settings it could be very useful.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

@Mr_Rablin I just posted on that. It is herculean.

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

kids had a good session.
20+ years of teaching, including literally in a broom closet and putting out a building on fire, but I have NEVER done anything like that. It is now 5 times a week on my schedule. I have never been so tired. 3/4 - Nope 3/3

[Sr. Sisson @SrSisson]

classroom lead by the Mandarin teacher who had to wear headphones to hear me talk as they watched on their devices, and 5 more who were at home. Also, the copy machine was out of paper as a bonus. I had back up plans and got 10,000 steps in those 45 minutes making sure the 2/4

#teachers, doing more, paid less. When I started in the 90s it was a top ten most respected profession. The pandemic has brought that back. @LeBatardShow ranks teachers and front line workers as #1 in their 1st BSC college football ranking. Pandering? Well... Appreciated? Yes
