@sharmsal32 You too! Your presentation was helpful, can't wait to use some of those brain breaks! See you next year 😆

@nosilaN So good to see you!

Finally made it to #mafla24! It's been a few years, but I am glad to be back and ready to learn and share with like-minded colleagues! :)

@SraMonell @MicrosoftFlip @goformative Thanks! I did use it years ago, and I will probably check it out again and pony up the $$. It does work well for what I want.

@nosilaN @MicrosoftFlip I recommend Formative. It is truly amazing @goformative

I am back to teaching this year, and planning on using this platform to connect with teachers again. Finding out the @MicrosoftFlip is no longer the same #Flip it always was. What alternatives are #langchat Ts using now??

@TeachingSolved @MicrosoftFlip It might be that. And I guess once everyone was trained and in the habit of the right way, it would work! Thanks! :)

@nosilaN @MicrosoftFlip I think the issue with a lot of these platforms is users trying to paste the link out of the address bar instead of getting the public link that it gives you afterwards and copying that. I see the same with Canva, etc.

@lovemysummer @MicrosoftFlip Thanks, you got me into Formative a few years ago, but then with the paywall issue I kind of deserted them. But I will have to check it out again, it will most likely be my best bet. I do like the ease of it what what I need. :)

@nosilaN @MicrosoftFlip Glad to have you back! I use formative for most things.

@shellyironside @MicrosoftFlip Thanks, I did see both of those options, and I need to look a little more into them. They are a little intimidating, and I didn't want to add another thing the kids need to have an account for.... Flip was just super easy. I'll adapt 😂

@mme_wagstaff @MicrosoftFlip Thank you!! It's good to be back.... Kind of 😂 It was a very much needed year with my kids! I'm so grateful I took it.

@TeachingSolved @MicrosoftFlip I've used it years ago. But I sometimes ran into issues with the link not working or kids making errors when trying to submit.... But it's worth checking again! Thanks!!

@nosilaN @MicrosoftFlip Vocaroo! It’s audio only but super easy.

@AggieAshley @MicrosoftFlip Awesome!! I will need to check that out, it might work for what I need. But it will be a little harder for me to listen through. Flip was so streamlined and easy. Thanks!!!

@nosilaN @MicrosoftFlip Google Slides has this feature built-in now!

@senoraschlegel This looks great, thanks for sharing! Would you be willing to share what the pérfil template looks like?

Today we created “perfiles sociales” and then did a gallery walk to learn about our classmates. We went from presentational writing, to interpretive reading, to interpersonal speaking and then presentational writing to wrap it all up! docs.google.com/document/d/1Tl…

@techMEWithyou Thanks Meredith! The kids are doing great, and I'm working on healing and being present for them. Taking this year off was the best thing for us, but I look forward to getting back into teaching-land next year. I appreciate you thinking of us! 💕

Initially entering the hospital with an incarcerated hernia, it was ultimately sepsis that took my husband from us after 3 months in the ICU last year. I just found out that today is World Sepsis Day. 💔🖤 #WorldSepsisDay #Sepsis worldsepsisday.org/news/2023/9/13…

I'm hoping the year off with my young kids will help heal and find a new routine. They are 6, almost 5 and 10 months. They need their Mama so much right now.

1 year ago today my husband was transferred from a local ER to Boston for an incarcerated hernia. 3 months later he was gone. 💔💔 Thank you to all of you for your support and prayers for the last year. 🙏 I'm taking next school year off to focus on my little family. 🥰

A student drew Billy La Bufanda in human form during class today! I told her I'd share it with @senorwooly She didn't have any markers to color it

@MartinaBex @lovemysummer Awesome, thank you!!

@nosilaN @lovemysummer Oh my word it just took me SO LONG to find where I had this!! It was never in a blog post or anything. Buried deep in the Subscriber Library - Administrative Items folder.. Look for "classroom management worksheet" mailchi.mp/comprehensible…

Does anyone have a "think sheet" similar to this but for high school kids? Just asking before I create my own.... Something to do/discuss with a student in detention or maybe even just have them fill out in the moment in class. #LangChat

@lovemysummer @MartinaBex I'm sure she does!! She's always prepared.

@nosilaN I think @MartinaBex has one

@vgilbertTEACH Thank you!!

@SraWilliams3 😔❤️ So sorry for your loss
