Thing 1-A : Post 1

Bienvenue! My name is Valerie and I teach French at AHS. This will be my second year there, but I have 10 years of experience from Meadowcreek HS in Norcross. Besides teaching, I will also be sponsoring a new club- The Foreign Language Club. My department colleagues and I wanted to promote our languages to students who are taking French or Spanish. We're hoping to find opportunities for students to experience culture and practice their language skills outside of the classroom. I've got some ideas for starter activities, but if you know of any upcoming events, great restaurants, etc. that students would love to see/visit/experience, let me know!

Now, why did I sign up for this course? Well, I like computers and technology. Unfortunately, we don't get much time in the computer lab. So, I'm hoping to find new ways for my students to access information quickly and meaningfully. I know that a lot of students are still intimidated by computers, so the more I know, the more I can help them. This course offers a lot of different ways to present and access information. Also, I'm sure the students know about these things and I certainly don't want to be left out of the information loop!
