7.  Ludwig* and Siegfried* did a great job on their most recent guided conversation. Thought you might like to hear your son speaking German! :) Looking forward to Ludwig joining us for German Day in March! Frau Boynton  Thank you so much! Your email "fell through the cracks" as I was deleting emails I found this one. It's a keeper and I'm forwarding it to family and friends! Thanks for sharing! --Helga We are so excited that she was asked to go! Honestly, we have been concerned with her grade and thinking she was not doing well at all. We have a German neighbor, so if there is something she could work with her on, let us know. Thanks! --Angela & Anton This was cool! Thanks for sharing. Rolf sounded like a true German....oh wait...he is...both sides :) My maiden name is Runge and married a Schmidt :) Thanks. I did enjoy hearing him! He is planning on going to German day. --Gerhard Actual parent responses, *names have been changed to protect the innocent

8. Reaching out to the community

9. My Reflectio n 1.I had 100% participation and turn-in result using this technology. That kind of full participation does not often happen. Not to mention that I found the students to be very motivated and involved, which was great. 2. I've listened to all of the submissions and am using them as work samples to send to parents as "Witness to the Good"! With Google Voice, I can so quickly email the voicemail with a message about how their student is performing in German class! Love this aspect of this digital learning tool. 3. I'm going to play for the whole class a few of the really good ones, which I think will build community in my classroom and help get the kids excited about the fact that "YES, YOU ARE SPEAKING GERMAN!!!" 4. This is great for vertical teaming, because in AP German, the students will have to record themselves responding to speaking prompts. This is great to start practicing NOW. 5. I'm still feeling so amazed that JCHS got recognized by the State Superintendent for Schools. whoa. :D 6. This tech tool could also be used as a way to do an exit slip for ANY class, not just World Language.
