Well I don’t know about you, but my summer sure flew by. I have a lot to look forward to this year at school. Here’s what’s got me excited for the year to come:
ACTFL in New Orleans
My colleague Robin and I will be attending ACTFL in New Orleans for the first time in November. I am excited to learn new things, meet other language teachers, and see New Orleans for the first time. Are you going to ACTFL? If so, please let me know in the comments!
Revamped Curriculum
Robin and I revised our middle school French curriculum this summer, moving away from a grammar-heavy approach and more towards a comprehensible input model. I know the students are going to benefit from the changes we have made, and I will enjoy teaching it more!
1:1
This year, for the first time, all my students will have Cloudbooks. We also have a set of 30 iPads in our department, 10 of which are new this year thanks to a grant. I am looking forward to being a 1:1 classroom for the first time, and using some of my favorite apps and programs in different ways, as well as some new ones. What are your favorite 1:1 programs?
What are you looking forward to this year?
