Several visits to #Normandy cemetery, and it never gets old. I love seeing students experience what they’ve learned in class. #EuropeTrip2022 @shs_rangers @spencerport_central_schools instagram.com/p/CgZg88SuVcC/…

This is exciting! I’m looking forward to including non-binary language in my French and Spanish classrooms. nytimes.com/2021/09/01/cro… #langchat

@heymrsbond I use “Incomplete” for assignments that don’t have a grade. I started this a few years ago. The problem I have with zero as a placeholder is that it affects the overall grade, but isn’t an accurate reflection of knowledge or work. #IncompleteNotZero

@WLClassroom I agree. But we will adapt. I plan on doing speaking in virtual classes as well, so they do see and hear, at least some of the time.

I may be over-thinking, but I’m concerned about mouths being covered in class. Speech and sound distinction is multi-modal. Revisiting my days of studying applied linguistics and the #McGurkEffect youtu.be/96Fxj0QfyTA

@kasal_finley I had some issues with students having their friends “Zoom bomb”. I started doing 2 things. 1. They had to use their first and last name to check in. 2. They had to turn on their camera so I could verify who it was. This year I will allow them to turn it off once I verify.

Processing today: I took 2 fully online APSI courses this summer. Here are my takeaways as it relates to being a "student" in an online class. 1. Do not make students turn on their cameras There were times I was eating & turned off my camera only to be asked to turn it back on

@maritstiles This depends on whether distancing is happening in the classroom. In my district, in-person classes will be smaller because we are mandated to have desks 6 feet apart.

Worth reminding folks that lower numbers of students attending our schools (Eg parents opting out/opting for online) doesn’t REDUCE class size. Rather, there will be reorganization based on the number of students back to regular sizes. #onpoli #onted #UnsafeSeptember

@KarenUSAproud @rweingarten @AFTunion @nysut I’m in NYS. Situations are different around the country. I am confident in what our state and district have put in place.

#TeachersWantWhatChildrenNeed and no where is that clearer than right now Mr President..Teachers and their unions care about keeping our communities safe; if you cared about that we would have been far more successful in tackling #covid. #ReopeningSchoolsSafely

Hey, #langchat: planning for hybrid classes, Spanish 2 and French 4. I’m debating which skills to focus on in person v virtual. First instinct is speaking and little to no computer work in person. But with desks 6 feet apart, maybe speaking is better virtual? Your thoughts?

Please let our athletes play! @NYGovCuomo #LetThemPlay

Reminder about Spencerport camps. Hoping they start next week! #RangerPride

Yes! Thank you!

@rachbarnhart Me too. YMCA outdoor pools open July 10. I wish they’d let indoor pools open. Many more of those up here.

@MmeSraResch I hope more pools open. Adams Street Rec Center is opening soon, too.

I wasn’t kidding when I said this is where you’ll find me all summer! #ROC

@mmackmedia MT Ed has one next week. Plus in-person camps, following guidelines. musicaltheatreeducation.com

#ROC: We know many camps are going virtual this summer. What are some of the programs you've been hearing about? We'd like to compile a list of different types of virtual camps across the area. Please share your leads!
