Are there any virtual education conferences, free or a small fee, this summer? Or webinars? I have not a single PL opportunity happening, but would like to change that, if possible. #edusky

Can’t wait until I can use AI for good in a manner similar to this example. There are now ways to have students chat with a bot in a controlled setting AND in French with comprehensibility. Tech has its dangers, BUT there is so much to be celebrated.

So, teachers’ appreciation could really go back to one day rather than a week. It doesn’t feel super special, and, well, the commercialization of everything. Notes from kids and a catered lunch = perfect scenario. Maybe an afternoon, gourmet coffee could be an extra bit of perfection.

10/10 recommend taking students out on the day of your birth when it occurs on a weekday. I just did a nature scavenger hunt in French out by the pond on our campus.

“Can you print this for me?”
When faced with a tech problem, students often run for the hills. Reflecting the responsibility back to them can help show them they’re less helpless than they think. 🖥️💫

When you speak English ten times, you “pay up,” and, in this case, find one treat that wasn’t produced in a facility where there is any type of tree nut for a learner. Always remember the food allergy kids.
