I am in the process of designing a technology unit for my Spanish 3 class and wondering if anyone out there has done a similar unit and might be interested in sharing resources. My guiding themes for this unit will be:
• how does technology affect language
• how does technology affect cultural interaction
• how does technology affect interpersonal communication and reelationships

La course landaise, éviter les vaches avec panache
Le championnat de France de course landaise avait lieu dimanche dans le Gers. Une tradition très ancienne et spectaculaire avec de magnifiques vaches noires et des acrobates téméraires.
Artisans passionnés (1/5) : des robes de mariées en dentelle de Calais
Lumière sur trois sœurs qui conçoivent des robes de mariées à partir de la célèbre dentelle de Calais. Un savoir-faire qu'elles cultivent depuis une quarantaine d'années à Nemours, en Seine-et-Marne.
Les devoirs à la maison, c'est dur aussi pour les parents
Selon une étude publiée mardi dans Le Parisien, près de 60% des parents doivent donner un coup de main à leur enfant pour les devoirs à la maison. Le passage de la primaire au collège est notamment difficile. Les exercices sont plus durs et prennent plus de temps… C'est un véritable casse-tête pour les enfants comme pour les parents.

I used to teach in the "in-the-flesh" version of that program in Las Cruces. At that time we didn't have an online version. Who is teaching in it?

In fact, in some jurisdictions teachers DO strike. We in British Columbia
just ended a strike which saw us start school 3 weeks late this year (as
well as ending the last school year 2 weeks early).
Here's a link to the news release about our newly ratified agreement.
The whole effort involved a TON of public education and conversations with
parents and taxpayers. Social media played a key role in getting our
message out, regarding more support for students and a fair deal for
teachers (which included not only salary items, but also prep time).

The Eiffel just got a new vertigo-inducing glass floor in a new facelift of
the monument. I just saw this on the evening news:

The AP class designed a questionnaire and came into my Spanish 3 class to
ask questions. Maybe your class could make an encuesta and interview
another class. It could be for Spanish 1- que te gusta mas, Twitter o
Instagram.
