#TECHtalkGA I miss all of you in my PLN! Getting my Specialist and all my free time is gone. But I check in and read all your posts when I can. Even when "attendance" is low, remember that there are those like me these days who you ARE reaching by sharing your conversation.

Keeping Students Connected Thru COVID19 Closures Pt. 1 – Don't Shush Me! This is awesome. I love it. dontyoushushme.com/2020/03/15/kee…

Deborah, Dawson County HS Media/IT #TECHtalkGA

A2: forcing myself not NOT start on the computer before I brush my teeth and get dressed (because it's noon before I stop to breathe most days!)#TECHtalkGA

A3: Getting past the troubleshooting and helping everyone just stay afloat, and actually helping them SWIM. #TECHtalkGA

A4: This socially distant thing has helped us become more personal in some ways. Through Google Meet I've seen my co-workers homes, kids, pets. We are learning more about each other. #TECHtalkGA

A5: I think they all get it now. That tech IS important, it's NOT going away, and it CAN be used for good. And I tell you what, our tech people have never been as highly appreciated as they've been the last couple of weeks! #techtalkga

I know there's lots of teachers out there who wish they'd have paid more attention at all those workshops we've given! Right Brian DeRose Ed.S ? #techtalkga

A1: Deborah, media & tech specialist, DAWSON Co HS. For me it’s the list! Vital. #TECHtalkGA

A2: through the day, I fail at breaks. By mid afternoon I am better about getting up out of my chair and eating, stretching my legs, etc #TECHtalkGA

Can I just say that I can’t get used to this WFH acronym?! I see it and my brain changes it to WTF. Not kidding! #TECHtalkGA

A4: I don’t know how my grown kids and others do it! I am so thankful to just have this to worry about. No little kids at home or other responsibilities. I’ve more than paid my dues though! #TECHtalkGA

Thank you Angela! Great chat tonight. Stay safe and healthy everyone! #TECHtalkGA

Revising Your Teaching Philosophy for This Crisis edutopia.org/article/revisi…

Reminder that kids are not "falling behind" academically during these crazy times. Standards, benchmarks, and accountability measures are all arbitrarily created by schools and can just as easily be readjusted as needed.

Wear a mask because you care for others. Full Stop!

Digital Citizenship is just not engaging to my HS students. We use CSM and the topics are relevant and well-done, but the kids are not buying in. Looking to gamify. Suggestions for low to no-cost options to insert my own (well, CSM) content? GA Educators
