Skype Conference in Alaska!

I just completed a wonderful skype conference with Michele’s group in Alaska!

I was a bit nervous, never having done a presentation via skype before, but I’m very excited to say that it went pretty well!

I had a great time with the folks in Alaska and I hope they did too!

Thanks, Michele and her gang!

“Circling with Pictures” Presentation-NTPRS ‘09-San Antonio

Thanks for attending my presentation on my adaption of Ben Slavic’s “Circling with Props.” I hope that it inspired you to go “whole hog” in the target language with your classes starting on day one of level 1.

Here’s the link to the PowerPoint presentation I used during the presentation: http://teachforjune.com/docs/circling-with-pictures-jul09-ntprs.pdf

If you have any questions or comments about the presentation, please don’t hesitate to comment below!

Thanks!
