Retiring, Retired, Retirement!

To all my subscribers… I am officially retiring on June 1, 2022 after 33 years in education (25 in Caroline and 8 in Stafford). It has been a pleasure getting to know you over the years and providing you with resources for you, your students, or your own children.

My work website has been moved to: https://sylanderson.us I will continue posting here for about a year or so. I also have a personal website highlighting macrame and other interests. Check out: http://mickeyandgrace.com to see what I’m up to. This is currently a work in progress.

I wish you all the best. Stay safe, carry on and have a good summer!

Live Captions in Chrome

Chrome has a built-in feature that will caption any video you watch online. To toggle between on and off, go to Chrome/Settings (top right menu bar), and in the search field type ‘live caption’. Under the accessibility section, you can turn the feature on or off.

Captions are a great way for any learner to improve their vocabulary or ESL students to learn and/or read the language.
