Find out what happens when you bring together two Spanish Language teachers from the USA, an Emo student, and an English Language teacher from Mexico. On this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers, Susan Ettenheim and Paul Allison invited three new teachers and a student to join them to think about how to connect accross and through cultures and language.

Joining us on this show:

  • Christian, a 10th grader at East West School of International Studies, Flushing, NYC, USA
  • Señorita Leslie Davison, Tercer grado de una primaria en Colorado, USA
  • Marcy Webb, 8th grade Spanish teacher at the Watkinson School, Hartford, CT, USA
  • Angeles B, an English as a Foreigh Language teacher on an island off the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico
  • Bill Oneal, an English Teacher from Trenton Central High School, West, Trenton, NJ, USA

Join the Spanish Language Group
What are your ideas about Halloween and el Día de los Muertos? What are the similarities? What are the differences? Which would you/do you prefer to celebrate? Why?

We invite you to join the teachers and students who are posting their “Thoughts About Halloween and el Día de los Muertos” in the Spanish Language group on Youth Voices.

El Grito de Valle
This is a running event Señorita Leslie Davison’s dual language elementary school in Colorado puts on every fall to celebrate Mexico’s Independence. This year they had over 300 runners!

Join the Screamo/Emo Group

On the Youth Voices Screamo/Emo Group students began by asking each other:

  1. Why is music so important to us and why do we need it?
  2. Have you ever heard a song with such a deep meaning that it changed the way you think now?

Christian, a 10 grader at East-West School of International Studies, and the founding manager of the Screamo/Emo group invites you to add your thoughts about these questions.

Go to EdTechTalk to see the log of the simultaneous chat that was happening during the show.
