6 thoughts on “vPQA Back to School Update – Important”
Hello, all. I’ve been doing vPQA with my class for adults. I think it has been effective. I taught “quiere” and “le gusta.” I also put together one deck with just TPR commands.
1. Why did we abandon Haiku Deck? Because they charge to export a deck into PPT?
2. Why do you say vPQA can be boring, Ben?
3. How do we get a vPQA presentation to you? Attach it to an Email?
If you wish you can import your haikudeck slide shows as a ppt. and then send them out to Ben.
I still love you haikudeck…
But don’t you guys think I’m doing the right thing here, trying to push vPQA in this new direction? I think more people will get on board with it and we need the new slide shows. The year is starting and I’m all over verbs this year and – the truth is out – I am too lazy to make a bunch of decks myself. So tell me this is going in the right direction. Now I’m feeling a bit misty eyed about our solid old friend from last spring….
Here’s my vPQA for ‘busca / looks for’

I didn’t include a Do Now slide. I personally would rather use my own Do Now slides anyways. Also, it would be nice if others used PowerPoint because I imagine myself wanting to download and edit others’ presentations (decks?) to best fit my students needs.
Note: I stole the Google image idea to present ‘looks for’ from Eric Herman’s slide show visualizing high frequency verbs:

Please let me know if anyone thinks I should revise. Thanks!
I looked at Haiku Deck for a few minutes and found finding the right image too time consuming. If I had nothing else to do, I may have felt differently about it and persisted with the program. I had a rather long sit down with my library resource guru at school and he had no problem with Google images and thought it was nice that I included a link to the source of the image. There are images on Google that are free from copyright issues. As long as I am not charging entry to my vPQA presentations, he thought I was good to go. If I learned HD before Power Point, I am sure that I would feel the same about the HDs, Mes deux centimes,
