Leçon d’Halloween : Quand mes erreurs sont devenues mes professeurs

Leçon d’Halloween : Quand mes erreurs sont devenues mes professeurs

Comments 6 comments

🕯️Translation: “Halloween Lesson: When My Mistakes Became My Teachers” Last week, I revealed my secret weapon—learning French twice through Duolingo: once as an English learner and once as a (slightly delusional) French user. And, my phone and browser are all set to French. Also, Carly suggested Easy French and Oh La La, I Speak French, and I said I am going to look them up this week. But Alas! I couldn’t.. Something else kept me very busy this week and I’ll have…

The beauty of teaching, for me, has always been the idea of sharing. Knowledge grows only when it’s passed on, adapted, and reimagined. To understand this subject of my dreams, picture this: my students researching and exploring new learning materials beyond class. That curiosity—the desire to learn, remix, and share—is exactly what the world of Open Educational Resources (OER) tries to nurture.

(Translation: The secret has been revealed) Last week, I teased that I’d be sharing my secret to why Duolingo works for me (and why I don’t hate the “grind” as much as Reddit seems to).

But before we get into it, I would like to thank Jordan for commenting on my post from the week before last and asking me: Do you find Duolingo’s style keeps you motivated after such a long streak, or do you…

⚛️ In My Element: Memes, Meaning, and the Magic of Digital Learning

The digital world never sits still. Every scroll brings a new trend, a viral sound, or a meme that makes me both laugh and question reality. Naturally, social media has seeped into the world of education, reshaping how we learn, teach, and connect. As educators, we’re no longer just deliverers of content; we’re guides in a constantly shifting landscape where information flows freely, creativity is communal, and critical thinking is more essential than ever. We’re living right in the middle…

Last week, I was living La vie en rose—learning French through songs, Duolingo, and a touch of Taylor Swift chaos. This week, pedal-to-the-metal, Taylor Swift chaos hit full throttle as her new album The Life of a Showgirl dropped. It’s honestly wild that our resident tortured poet shifted gears to delivering pure summer-drive bops. And apparently, I’ve picked up her habit of using way too many car metaphors and imagery. I call it my august era (remember when I pulled…
