Discovering YouTube

Confession 1:  I’ve been watching a lot of the YouTube.   Confession 2:  It’s because I had no idea that you could learn basically everything on there.  Like, I used to only go on YouTube to find videos for French class and it was a major ah-ha moment to realize that there’s all kinds of other …

School

Is this a post??? It is!  I’ve set for myself a goal of posting once a week.   #goals 2019 was hard. 2020 was harder. Lots of room for improvement here at the Language Makerspace Blog. On the day that everything started to get shut down in my county in California last March 12, I was …

Returning and Crushing

I’ve been absent from the blogging for a bit because I was in a déluge of work:  organizing with our local host committee for the CLTA Quest for Proficiency Conference in Ontario, CA (you were there, right?), preparing my four sessions for the conference, starting the new semester including a class that now has the …
