Virtually Speaking: How To Turn Up the Volume In Class!

acquintero

Our virtual classrooms can resemble a high-security vault in where the only thing you hear is yourself breathing. What if I told you, it did not have to be like this? Well, it’s true! There are ways that we can motivate students to talk online, and have a great time doing it!

I have been perfecting these shifts, and we talk almost every class! Check out the video to learn how to TURN up the volume in your online classroom!

Thank you for visiting acquinterobook.com! This is a place to share resources, activities, and ideas for empowering students in their newly acquired language! I have been on this journey for a while. With approximately 17 years of teaching under my belt, I have interacted with over thousands of students, perfecting my craft. As a lifelong learner myself. I earned a Master’s in Latin American Literature and Cultures, in addition to a Master’s in Educational Leadership. I’ve worked as a moderator, school evaluator, and consulting teacher for the International Baccalaureate Program. In the last few years, I have had the good fortune to present at ACTFL and AATSP as well as local conferences. These programs and opportunities have enriched my worldview and strengthened my commitment to reaching every student. In addition to publishing over 10 comprehensible novels in Spanish, French, and German, I also enjoy working with schools to align their curriculum, and presenting on topics such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
