3 language teachers (Spanish-French, Elementary-Middle school) from our school connected today to share ideas and collaborate on a common project. Our students will use the target language to actively commun
icate with other students around the world using voicethread. We will challenge students to "virtually" step outside of the classroom and apply what they know to connect with another person.
I valued our work together: we shared our previous experiences, brainstormed for ideas, and ultimately learned from each other. I would like to spend more time in conversation and follow up on the progress of our students. It will be interesting to go through the experience together and reflect on our failures and successes.
So glad the three of you joined together to create a group! I love that you're teaching different levels and different languages, yet you all found common themes - this definitely demonstrates that you are looking at the enduring understandings, the ideas that go beyond the classroom and school experience. Looking forward to seeing your students finished work!
