- I am Piedmont High School's 11th grade English and Spanish teacher. I am very excited about the 2009-2010 school year. I hope to create a fun and exciting 21st century classroom experience for all of my students.
This is an excellent video for a Spanish class! I wish I had watched videos like this when I was taking Spanish. It would have made studying a lot easier. I plan on telling my old high school teacher about this website. She is always looking for new stuff to show to her Spanish students. I also think this website is a good source to use in a classroom. I did not know it even existed! I definitely plan on using it in my own classroom some day. I always love finding new websites that I can use for teaching. Technology really catches the interests of students, and they can learn from it effectively.
ReplyDeleteSince I am an English Language Arts major, I am required to take twelve hours of a foreign language. Although I though Spanish would be the easiest for me to comprehend, I quickly learned that was not the case. With that said, this website is an awesome tool in learning the language. The videos were very informational and made the material understandable. I thought that I could never make my brain learn another language, but after seeing these videos, I think it may be possible. Also, I would encourage both high school and college students alike to watch the videos.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is creative and informational at the same time! I think students could really get involved in a project like this. I may have had rote memorization drilled into my head, but many students have a hard time recalling information without being engaged in the topic. This seems like an excellent way for students to internalize the information. I am sure many students would find themselves humming during a test on this material, and as a teacher, that would certainly make me smile. I certainly wish that I had something like this when I was trying to learn Spanish verbs. To me, the verbs and noun genders are the most difficult concepts to master in Spanish. This website is a great resource for teachers. Even if the video is not applicable to one’s content area, one could still use it as inspirations for classroom projects and presentations.
