Day 2

Day 2 - The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do. - Kobe Bryant

It's roughly 10:45, and we've handed out over ## Chromebooks. Things seem to be running smoothly, and according to plan. Now that I've said that, the wheels are going to fall off.

With that in mind, I've got a plan B. How about you? I know we're all looking for that newest, latest, greatest, "I'm going to be the best eTeacher ever!!!!" lesson/website/activity, but what happens when that site doesn't work for students? Better have a good plan B.

This morning I was told by the IT department that students can join video chats started by a teacher on Google Meet. Head over to meet.google.com to check it out. I haven't tested it myself, but I will soon.

Starting next week, I'll be asking once each week what your favorite tool was for that week. While I do encourage you to stick with the core, (Classroom. Docs. Slides.) once you have that down, branch out a bit... but have that plan B.

Keep your office hours, but keep time for other people. Test out video chat by talking with other teachers... about NOT school. It's going to help you hold on to what little sanity we have.
