@mamory @emrichards @ehaspel @elinoraspegren @mamory I’ll let you know! We begin hybrid teaching next week. Crazy amounts of safety protocols to follow, no sharing of anything. It will be interesting for sure

@emrichards @ehaspel @elinoraspegren I understand that virtual school isn’t working for a lot of kids. But, I wonder, will 2 days in person, with all the safety measures & social distancing and with a teacher juggling to teach both f2f and virtual actually be better? I’m not convinced.

Despite a nationwide rise in infection rates, big districts are trying to get more kids back to classrooms, largely because remote learning isn't working great for many students. But the challenges are steep. Our latest @elinoraspegren usatoday.com/story/news/edu…

I’m blessed to work with her sister!

Want to show students how to turn in an assignment in Google Classroom? My first grader breaks down the steps! Love having access to the student view of things, right from my own home! @PoplarTreeES #AmazingThingsHappenEverywhere flipgrid.com/s/9b480ccfcb8e

I hope no one is worrying about whether or not teachers wear jeans to school, and with masks, I even bring back the scrubs conversation.

Don’t feel guilty about giving your students and yourselves frequent brain breaks throughout your school day. Don’t worry for a single second about what your administration is going to say. We, as humans, NEED these breaks. Take them.

Right now, I think teachers need more TLC than they do PD.

Teachers plates are still overflowing. They still have at least five jobs. Teacher, curriculum developer, IT for students, therapist for parents struggling, & office worker. All while trying to take care of their family too. They need grace & support now more than ever.

This! 🙌

Teachers Using Zoom: If you've never used it on a Chromebook, there is no whiteboard no annotate feature no virtual background No Gallery View when sharing. PLEASE know this before asking your students, who are on Chromebooks, to use any of those features and BE PATIENT!

Whether Virtual or F2F, embrace the team concept. You should not feel like an island. Every teacher doesn't need to create their own lessons, activities, etc. You're not in competition w/colleagues, so share. Team means to work together and lean on each other for support.

@mamory @mkdybq How about 8:30-3 online over here? I definitely don’t want to be sitting online for a meeting afterwards

@mkdybq I’m already protesting teacher meetings on school days because I will have already spent several hours live with kids. Even at 4 hours a day it’s too much! I’d love to see more asynchronous learning, even in the younger grades.

Wow! Put it like that & we all should schedule breaks during our 80 minute blocks. The Ss have 4 of these classes!

Every Friday, Bitmoji releases new Bitmojis. Happy to see some more positive school Bitmojis 😊

Teaching virtually bring on next level exhaustion.

@RussRollins Beautiful desk and a great keepsake from your dad.

1. “Can you mute yourself?” 2. “Can you put your mic on mute?” There is an enormous difference between these two.

If you’re online learning plan consists of hours a day (2-3+) online in zoom, I would question your understanding of effective, child-centred pedagogy. I urge you to reach out to others and rethink things particularly if you want kids to love learning.
