Bienvenue
Using Blackboard to learn French
Getting Started
The orientation tab will explain the many features of Blackboard--click on every link and don't skip any--even if they appear to be repetitive. Then watch all the videos under the "How Do I...?" tab! These videos will show you how to submit homework, record yourself speaking, make a video to send in, etc.
Required Live Class
You can attend more than one, too! Each teacher has their own teaching style and wants to help you understand French.
Qui est (who is) ton professeur?
Although I began as a French teacher and counselor, I spent time as a Assistant Principal and Principal in both middle and high schools. I was also the Director of Employment for the Guilford County Schools and was on loan to NCDPI for 2 years to assistant struggling high schools in NC.
I live in Greensboro, NC with my husband Jerry and have 2 married daughters. Avery and her husband and two sons live in Asheville. Graham and her husband live in Manhattan. I'm enjoying retirement by returning to my roots as a French teacher for NCVPS.
