@sarahdateechur 20 seconds of box breathing when switching tasks. Thought download - in the morning fill a sheet of paper with everything that is on your mind. Schedule the most important tasks into the day/week. I do this on Sunday nights but also daily.

I am putting together a presentation for my district where I will talk about self-care (i.e. Headspace, Calm, etc.), time management (Pomodoro method, etc.), and productivity (Scheduled Send for Gmail, Calendar Slots, etc.). Would love to hear if anyone has ideas. I'll credit you

@shervettemiller @sarahdateechur Must remember to check folders when you filter! I set one up thinking I was so smart and then forgot about it 🤣

@specialtechie @MsClassNSession @sarahdateechur @SlidesManiaSM I have to level up my Google Keep game

How might you share happiness today? #Covid19 #happiness #educationmatters

So glad that someone shared CRAAP - it was brought up by one of my students when we were talking CRAP in design. CRAAP in what we should post/what to consider when evaluating media is a great reminder. #IM42x

The responses in this thread are interesting to me. I’ll admit I am not overly impressed by slides during a presentation, I’ve seen plenty of “amazing” slides where I thought the presentation was horrible. For me it is all about what you are sharing, not how your slides look.

@ModestTeacher youtube.com/watch?v=KbSPPF…

When doing a Google slides presentation only use a white background and black font. THAT IS IT. No weird geometric shapes in your layout No funky fonts or color ...just a white background and black font. Thank you.

@lisa_smith40 @ModestTeacher Interesting. My astigmatism makes white text on black background impossible! Everything moves 🙄 and I get motion sickness.

@theirishkiss @mrfusco Or it creates an equity gap...

@mrfusco Universities and community and global businesses use different platforms. Although a challenge for students now, ultimately, this annoyance could build resilience and coping mechanisms to better handle anxiety with the same issue in their future when it becomes a ‘must’ in life.

While on Twitter today I read about teacher issues with the various LMS services, but I also see many “you gotta try this platform” posts, & all I can think about is how HS students are coping with each of their teachers using a different platform. #justathought

@wburchjones So difficult!

@avivaloca Thanks! I'm actually writing for prep coverage with no teacher involvement! That's why I'm stuck (also I'm a high school teacher 🙃)

@IdeaSmashing For K? What about playing with them. We did Virtual Playdates all the time back in June. This could work for a full class too. Support by checking in as they play. Unmute for questions and extensions. adunsiger.com/2020/05/23/can…

I think we’ve found our groove. I wasn’t sure that I would ever love socially distant K, but there are elements of wonderful. Today, the environment really did become the 3rd teacher, social interaction happened from a distance,& kids owned the learning. #MyTeacherHeartIsHappy 💕
