Q1 We are using EVERYTHING Microsoft in our building! We share resources with our students and PLC, we meet, we create, and we collaborate. #FCSVanguard

Q2 It has been beneficial in that we have been able to interact with each other and remain socially distanced. I really miss hugs and high fives though! #fcsvanguard

Q3 I am great with technology, but I have not had one single day where I could get everything working correctly. It is breaking my heart when I can't get the assignment to load for a student. The assignments not loading is a HUGE challenge. #fcsvanguard

Q4 I tell them to try the following: Teams online-Try the app or vice versa. Restart 3 times. Close everything and reopen only what is needed. Disconnect/reconnect wifi. Sit closer to wifi. Try it again later in the afternoon. #fcsvanguard

Q5 I am now thanks to the amazing Tammy Turner! I am definitely a point of contact in my school to assist and support other teachers with the functions in Teams. I would not be able to do what I do without the MIE training. #fcsvanguard

A5 I always start out every meeting with the rules and expectations. I am as planned and as prepared as I can be so things run as smoothly as possible. I also try to have a backup plan! #fcsvanguard

A4 TWO MONITORS!!! I brought another one in from home and it is huge. I can have all sorts of things open and in my view. Laptop is a desktop that is shared during the meetings and then the other screen is for me and viewing the meeting to see if any hands are up. #FCSVanguard

Q7 I am exploring some other tools and options due to there being so many issues with Microsoft right now. BrainPop, online textbook, etc. I can't wait for the new breakout rooms though! #fcsvanguard
