San Diego Unified School District teachers are taking on new learning to increase student engagement and learning with the integration of technology. As the Academic Language Development Culture and Communication Class is rolled out to high schools and middle schools in Canvas LMS, teachers all over the district are embarking on innovation. Teachers are pushing out assignments via Canvas, a platform that allows students to respond to videos they watch and teachers to give students immediate feedback on their formative assessments. It also provides students with many opportunities to have partner talks, table discussions, and many other activities that require students to speak and listen to others. This class is designed to be fun and interesting with lots of opportunities for students to reach their language acquisition goals.
