Here is my presentation.
Hello everyone! I haven't blogged much this year because I've been trying a lot of new things that I can't wait to share once I stop drowning. So...more about that later. But two things I just have to say before I forget:
1. FIND A SMALL, INTIMATE PLC: A few years ago, my friend Andrea Schweitzer and I started a weekly Skype session with Jeremy Jordan (who then abandoned us and was promptly replaced by Elicia Cardenas). These sessions are invaluable to my life as a TPRS/CI teacher. Just today, Elicia and I talked about classroom management, communicative ideas that our beginner students can use to communicate without spewing terrible French/Spanish, and supported each other through a couple of rough spots. I left our conversation feeling uplifted and ready for my next class. So, find someone (or a couple of someones) to meet virtually with NOW.
2. I will be presenting a session called "Time Saving Tips for the CI Classroom" on Saturday at 4:30. If you were going to attend my session, what would you want me to tell you? What would you hope to learn at such a session? I have a bunch of ideas, but I would love to hear of other ideas that I might not be thinking of.
See you at ACTFL!
