I have taught in Austria, China, Argentina, Syracuse, and York. Currently I teach German at Central York High School. I have a very strong emphasis on integrating technology into my curriculum and assessments, the backbone of which is Moodle a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) which I've been using since 2004. I am a professional development consultant for the AATG. I am married and have 4 kids.

Description:

Do you deal with a lot of vocabulary in your course? Would you like to manage vocabulary online – even help students maintain it over the summer? Wordchamp, Quizlet, and Moodle, are great free multimedia tools that can even learn which words need to be practiced.


Vocabulary is something that I work with everyday in teaching a foreign language. Because of that, I have experimented with many different tools to help students work with vocabulary and am happy to share those experiences with you so that you can consider new ways of working with vocabulary in your discipline(s).
