This conference is a great opportunity to better understand both the potential & the limits of #AIinEducation, & to hear directly from leading voices on how it can support classroom practice. I look forward to bringing back insights to strengthen and evolve our programs.

On my way to Boston to attend the 'AI in #K12Education: Teaching in Practice' conference organized by the Intl School of Boston.

With #CinéSchool, I'm always looking for new ways to make #FrenchLearning more engaging: combining cinema, interactive tools, & digital platforms.

🎬A perfect morning with a screening of Nouvelle Vague, followed by a Q&A with director Richard Linklater and Zoey Deutch, Guillaume Marbeck & Aubry Dullin.

It tells the story of Godard making Breathless, in the same style and spirit that changed cinema forever.

As a coordinator of this series for 16 years, it was such a joy to see what our colleagues have been creating in Chicago (they’ve been running Films on the Green for 5 years now!) and to witness the audience’s enthusiastic reactions firsthand. Nothing beats sharing French cinema under the stars! 🥰

For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'

You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).
