  • Episode 16 - Corona in Class with Erin and Shane.

    When Covid-19 hit in March of 2020, we called it Corona Virus.  We reflected on our (very naive) outlook on the virus and how to discuss it with your students and what materials to use.  We also debate the nuances of the pronunciation of whooping cough.  Oh, how things have changed.....
