Incorporating technology into classes

by Sra.M

May 2, 2017

Hola! How are you incorporating technology into your classes? I know it's a vague question but I'd love some ideas. Anyone using Google Classroom? Google Voice? I've noticed that my students actually dislike when I do anything that is too technologically based. They have told me, for many years, that they prefer old fashioned note taking and writin...See More

Evan I use Google Classroom but I have found the same thing--some prefer using paper, some prefer the computer.--Therefore I usually give my students the option of paper or computer. I do use the computer daily for at least one activity and also use the computer to practice---using videos, oral exercises, Conjuguemos, Education Perfect, and th students ...See More

Sra.M Comparatives would be comparison statements: I like soccer more than football. Your brother is older then my brother. Science is more interesting than math.

Superlatives are "the most" statements: This is the most interesting class of the day. She is the tallest in her family I am the oldest.

My department will be ordering new textbooks for our two native speaker courses. We have samples of Tu Mundo 21 para hispanos as well as El espanol para nosotros (Level 1-2). Do you have a textbook curriculum you recommend? Does it have online material for students to use?

Jan 21, 2017

Hola a todos, I'm going to try letting my students in the kitchens this year. I did this when I was student teaching but with just one class. Now I have 5 classes of 24-30 students so running things well is more important.

Has anyone done this before? Can you tell me what you learned, or what you would cook, how did you do it? I'm conside...See More

glorialagos Yes. My students switched rooms with the FACS students and we made Spanish tortillas.

Students could choose group members - 4 to a group. Each group member brought ingredients. We cooked and then ate. It was a very popular day!

Sra. M. I love cooking day. We also trade with the FAC room. I divide the kids into groups. Each group cooks just one recipe and shares it with the class. I buy all the food and charge the kids $3. We make Tortilla espanola, empanadas (from maseca dough and cheese)Alfajores and dulce de leche, and a few other things.

Daniel Hanson Our district used ¡En Español! for almost 20 years or so. Part of our district piloted ¡Avancemos! last year. They did not like the material and more importantly, the material was not very digital. There were many tech issues with the activities.
