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.

@brianbuffington.bsky.social Your Minecraft song is a hit with the 5yo fan! #CreeperKeepOnCreepin

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.

This year, I bought $14 Mardi Gras King cakes for classes and club. My baby turned 5yo yesterday, so his celebration was at the top of my agenda! No baking/prepping homemade treats this year. My nut allergy person had a cosmic brownie instead. Remember those kids. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Loved having our chef stick around after school to make chocolates with French Club! Always a well attended event for our high schoolers.

When you do not use your phone for even job-related tasks in the classroom anymore… #oldschool

When in French class… #FrenchEduSky

This timer has been great now that we do not use cell phones at all in school. Next purchase: an old school calculator!

Changed the habitats project to a different hands-on art project along with a flyer written in French about the habitat and an endangered species from there. So fun! (They made a habitat in a shoebox prior to this semester. Problem was marine sci did it, too.)

Sent this list of slang to my friend in France. Her teenage son sent me several examples in French recently. Love it!
