We've had Chromebooks for about 6 years now. My #1 tip is to be really direct with the students about when it's acceptable to have computers out....
I would talk to your admin and see what they'd be willing to do (for instance, last year, students who refused to mask or wear it properly were to...
I live in a snowy place and we have had up to 9 snow days a year before. Even this year, we are doing true snow days (I have one today, actually)...
We are fully in person with no social distancing. I made an appointment to get my first dose at a pharmacy after work tomorrow. My district's...
I just have my roster up in one window and my Google Meet up in the other. While the kids are doing bell work, I mark who is not there. I have...
I grew up going to private school my entire life, K-12. I have taught at a public school for 13 years. No, I don't find kids at private school to...
No, I teach HS, and have over 100 students.
I'm the opposite. The blue surgical/disposable masks are itchy and scratchy to me, and even with bending the wire around my nose, it moves up...
No, I don't work at home and haven't for years. The first few years I taught, I did, out of necessity. Now, I have taught the same courses for...
Right now we're all virtual. But if/when we come back in-person, I will honestly probably continue to have them turn everything in digitally. I...
For fun, I typically read the suspense/thriller or true crime genres. I just started The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda.
I teach HS English. I think these issues span other content areas too, though. For students not showing up to class and not turning in work, what...
I also see each class every other day. We are limited in that we are only allowed to give 20 min of homework. Now, we have them "in class" for an...
It's gone OK so far. We've only had two days with students at this point. Overwhelming, lots of new things to learn, and more work than a...
I am glad we are remote. Our cases are rising here and in the county where I teach. I absolutely do not want to get this virus. Sure, it's not...
Remote for students indefinitely. We meet with half our classes each day, for one hour each. We have office hours in the morning and afternoon and...
So in my district, we are required to use Google Meet. In the spring, we were discouraged from any synchronous videos, so I have only ever been a...
To be blunt with no offense meant at all, you just seem very overly invested in this girl's parents and like you still hold a grudge against them...
Do you want a way you can record videos of yourself and publish to GC? I used Screencastify in the spring and loved it! At the time, they let...
Between the two of us we have probably about 20. When I thought we were going back in-person, I planned to have two cloth masks per day (change...
