If you'd like to follow me as I progress through my Master of Arts in Educational Technology, please click the following link. Here you will discover what I'm trying to change in our Elementary Spanish program and how I'm trying to use Technology in Education to make a more engaging learning environment. 

As educators, it's sometimes difficult to find the time to keep up communication with parents. It's even more difficult to do it when parents aren't interested in being contacted! Through our parent communication blog, educators of various backgrounds (including special education, world language, and general elementary education) will blog about different resources you can use as an educator to communicate effectively with parents. The resources range from very specific (BBC Languages) to very broad (Quizlet). There is something for everyone on this blog! 

You can find a lot of great information on the Barnes Elementary School Spanish Program Website. There is a calendar with due dates of different projects for each grade, helpful Spanish sites for both students and parents, and most importantly, the beginning of the Barnes Elementary Spanish "New Student Review" Program that is being created on behalf of Kerry Guiliano to allow her new students that transfer into Barnes to "Catch-Up" and learn the basics of Spanish needed for the class. Even parents can use it to enhance their ability to help their students with projects! 

Also, the 3rd grade students will begin completing a WebQuest on "La gente el la escuela", or "People in School".
