I retired from teaching eight years ago just when teen cellphone use was really starting to become an issue. When I taught the endings of Spanish -AR verbs I routinely put on a CD of a lyric-less funky rhythm which matched perfectly with a chant of “-O, -AS, -A, -AMOS, -ÁIS, -AN.” While my students were singing the endings to the beat, I’d often do a goofy old-man-style dance around the room.
