Today I met with a DSPS student I like and admire a lot but don't think can succeed in my High Intermediate Academic ESL, a level he's failed twice before and has added in the seventh week. I also talked to a counselor at DSPS who I think is both caring and realistic.
But because I feel I can't say too much on that subject without divulging identities, I'd like to say a few words about tech help from students as well as their limitations in finding things on our website and in their ccsf e-mail!
Last Friday a student thought he could find a way to stream my Area 2 DVD so we could watch it on a video player, and even though the one in charge of Broadcast Services couldn't understand his English, the student is knowledgeable but just sent me a message saying that he couldn't get the DVD to work on his macbook and will try another computer.
This morning when I got my iPad onto the playlist for a fill-in-the-blank song exercise, it was a young Latina student who helped me find the volume!
But...on an assignment to find a document I've put on the web site for ESL 140, a student e-mailed me because she either didn't understand what I said about its being on the web site or she couldn't find it. Here's another question about the tech-savvy: Why can't they check their ccsf gmail? What's so hard about that?
But I don't want to sound ungrateful for what they can do and do to help.
