So fun to meet some homeroom Ss in person today! It was awesome not talking to their avatars. #TMSpilot

Great suggestions included here! I like the idea of grouping Ss into cohorts and providing ways for them to get comfortable with one another. Much like Ts work together in CLTs, Ss more than ever need a go-to person or group. And, make sync time special!!

Chromebook Tip: Want to have your students see their work and your Zoom/Google Meet? Have them press [ and ALT at the same time. They’ll get a split screen with 2 tabs. #LeaderEd #edchat

So much this! πŸ™Œ
To the educators embarking on a school year like none other in history: You are trailblazers; You are heroes; You deserve a society that respects and honors your profession; You deserve a government that fully funds your needs; And you deserve the love and support of us all.

Thinking of all my teacher friends...you’ve got this! You’ve worked tirelessly to make DL the best for your Ss and they will feed off the energy you put out. This is not forever, but this is now. And just what if it’s way better than you or your Ss could’ve ever imagined? πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Day 1 of Year 17 is in the books! Welcome back to a strange, new and exciting year!

Agreed. What images and words will our Ss see/hear on the 1st day? Let’s set the stage for a positive start.
Stopped watching a webinar this weekend when I saw this screen. I don't think our kids need rules the first day of school. They most likely also don't need to see officer clipart saying "stop." What words and images will our students see first? (Yes, I DMed the company directly.)

Thank you to all who attended @InspireLoudoun today! Amazing how our virtual shift didn’t stop us from sharing/learning this year. I feel so energized and excited for @Schoology and what it will allow us do for our Ss, Ts, and parents!! πŸ™Œ

A6: I want to consider ways that I can maintain a slower pace of life. I keep returning to the Q, "What is not serving me that I can remove?" #NovaEdChat
Q6: When you return to your physical classroom/working space, what will you continue or modify as a result of your experiences over the last month or so? #NoVAedChat @nprietti

A5: As much as it's a crazy juggling act, I'm grateful for the extra family time and being in comfy clothes all day. I'm also reflecting on the many new tech skills that our Ts will emerge with. #NoVAedchat
Q5: What is one thing you are grateful for in reflecting on this temporary shift in your teaching/learning practices? #NoVAedChat @nprietti
