Chat rooms

Okay, so the beach picture below and the beach excursion feel like such a long time ago. It's been an incredibly long week, and we have one to go. I had a fairly big presention on Sartre and the Resistance on Thursday morning, for which I stayed up late on Wednesday. I think it went okay, but I ran on adreline the rest of the day yesterday and have been dragging today. I really love the content of our French class this week, and got really involved in the whole Sartre thing, which took me by surprise.

For our tech class today, we all had to meet in a chatroom and chat about topics our professor gave us. She didn't come to the school but managed it from her home. It was really crazy - all those messages flying all over the place - but I can definitely see great ways to use it in my classroom. One of the other French teachers and I have tentatively set a date to get our middle school students together virtually to chat in French. We'll see how it goes.
