This group of educators has put together some awesome resources! #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa I am getting better at gaging how long an assignment will take. I can let little things go and focus on the larger concepts. Students will have successful lives even if they cannot find the orthocenter. #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa My principal has been great! #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa Q6. I am able to give private feedback quickly while students are working on the activity. Students say they like to see that as they are working. Also, have interesting activities for them to learn the concepts. @Desmos #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa A5. I so appreciate all the updates in the past year to Teams and desmos. I would suggest time stamps when students start and finish an activity/assignment. ❤️what they have done! #TeacherTechWA

Any tech tricks that have helped you this year? Share them with us #TeacherTechWA @CanvasWa @MSTeamsWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa A4. Running Teams meetings on multiple laptops, add room feature. It has been a game changer! #TeacherTechWA

@MrsA_CSD @MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa Yes, grace is the word! It will work just don't know to what extent. #TeacherTechWA

@SandyAitken756 @MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa That’s the hard part. There’s the tech piece and the instruction piece. Tips from our elementary teachers focus on sticking with it and having grace as we learn new systems and skills. #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa A3. I am going to do a flip classroom. So, having to create more videos and plan out the class time desmos activities. #TeacherTechWA

@CanvasWa I am concerned about our remote students too. We are doing concurrent teaching. How do we make sure they aren't just "watching"? #TeacherTechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa A2. How to use desmos and put videos in to a Teams Channel. Ok, that is 2 things 😄#teachertechWA

@MSTeamsWA @WACSTP @CanvasWa I'm in Carnation and our high school kids will be back on April 7!

We have them! Woo hoo! Can't wait to use them tomorrow!😀

Yeah! Still waiting!

@wlmasarah I use 3 and works great. Especially if one of my laptops decides to restart. I can then jump to another. #TeacherTechWa

A reminder of the value of 2 screens. #TeacherTechWA

@NNelsonLearn I enjoy office hours because the students will turn on cameras and talk with each other. It would be great if more students took advantage of the time. #TeachetTechWa

A7. Secondary students have been so reluctant to ask questions. It is much harder to have a private, impromptu discussion to encourage or clarify. Office hours help, but not the kids who cannot or do not take advantage of them. #TeacherTechWa

@MrsKFelix @MicrosoftTeams @Schoology Yes, we started with a new platform this year and changed after first quarter. Lots of confusion and frustration for sure. #TeacherTechWa

A7. Trying too many different platforms. We are using @MicrosoftTeams and @Schoology. They are both good but too many places to go. We need to streamline in the future. #teachertechwa

A7 Poor internet/wifi has been frustrating. Streaming video takes a lot of bandwidth. At times, that is a problem. #TeacherTechWA
