Each class we will "travel to" one country/territory and learn several interesting and fun facts about it. Information will include the geography, a little language, the capital, major cities, the currency, popular tourist attractions, and more. Because travel is a visual experience, our virtual traveling will include many pictures and virtual reality tours of the country as well. Since this is an ongoing class and each meeting will be about a new country, learners can begin the class during any week. Prior to class, learners will receive information with the country we'll be traveling to and are encouraged to discover their own fun fact about the country to share with the class. Though I will have plenty of information to share with the learners, I encourage learners to share with the class and interact with each other as well. This is an interactive class in which learners will be encouraged to ask questions and share. And as such, it is highly encouraged that cameras are on throughout class. At the end of each class, learners will receive a stamp in their virtual passport!

CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.
Metas de aprendizaje
