Este mes, más de 45k estudiantes de español de 12 países votaron en una copa mundial de música en español. Fue super divertido, y @Moratbanda ganó 1er lugar con su canción Al Aire. ¡Felicidades, Morat! ¡Gracias, @senorashby por organizarlo! #locurademarzo bit.ly/3vJTKQV

@maestraibrahim @FluencyMatters Got it yesterday and read it! It is fabulous!

I am so excited to finally hold my book in my hands. It had been a long time coming, and this story is very dear to my heart. Get your copy now from @FluencyMatters

@IndwellingLang @PRHSspanish Not really....we have to log hours in case a board member gets in a snit about paying us.

@cmmccormick6 @PRHSspanish Interesting! Meaning if you want to attend a webinar, it has to be during typical school day hours on a weekday?

@IndwellingLang @PRHSspanish I feel it....but we were told to do PD during contract hours...i want to do ALL the PD....

@PRHSspanish I can identify with and chuckle at this reaction! I'm also paying my rent (& everything else) thanks to having 30-60 people in my webinars a few times a week—and had others voice frustration that they had missed the announcements—so I'm glad I've kept issuing public invitations!

@SarahBreckley @ProfeTwich We know you are awesome...just extra...better than not enough!

@ProfeTwich I'm also terrified of Spanish critique! I could get 100 positive comments, but I'll ONLY focus on the 1, "why does she talk like that?"/"why didn't she use subjective?"/"your accent sucks." Can't stop, wont stop, though! Glad you're with me!

As a non-native Spanish speaker, the idea of creating lessons in my second language and sending them into homes where they could get critiqued is pretty anxiety-inducing. I’ve been loving @SarahBreckley videos, though, so I watched a bunch to hype myself up and nailed the video.

@MacGovernM We do this already but start late August.

Happy #SpanishLanguageDay! Did you know about 85% of U.S. employers have a demand for #Spanish language skills? To learn more, check out the Making Languages Our Business report at: bit.ly/2Qioqo5

"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work." I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

We are all flying a plane that is not done being built, but we are keeping it off the ground so far. Sí se puede.

Good lord this video. Like a thoroughbred making a late break in a horse race

Now is not the time for rigor. Now is not the time for lengthy assignments. Now is not the time for a lot of new technology. Now is the time for small doses of meaningful work. Now is the time for access and availability to students. Now is the time for compassion.

So it’s official. We’re number one in the world for coronavirus cases, even surpassing China which has more than 4 times as many people as the United States. That’s because despite spending more money on healthcare than anyone else, we have one of the worst health systems around.

I'm hearing a lot of people uncomfortable with demands for hyper productivity without any time to cycle through the emotions that accompany a massive shift in routine (and possibly physical health).

All the major cruise lines are asking for bailouts from the U.S. Government. Yet, Disney Cruises sails under the Bahamian flag ... Celebrity Cruises under Liberian/Maltese flags & Carnival Cruises under the Panamanian flag - all to avoid U.S. taxes & employment law Just sayin'

TRUTH!

Too many schools are pushing too hard with their emergency distance learning plans. Taking attendance at 8 am? Hourly video conferences? You're showing that control and compliance are more important to you than learning. #edtech
