are you going to each S having own log in & email accounts?
That's cool, can still learn!
Hey , loving my students and hate dealing w/allocations/overages.
The district has Google accounts for them, but a server crashed and wiped 1400 of my school's accounts
We switch to Ss login and it takes 4ever
Finally got it figured out, but not before 2 weeks of frustration and miscommunications
YES & YES Friday & this week were stressful for all -you lose or gain?
definitely a transition that can be painful
yes-taking time but see it will be better in long run-wish it would have been over summer
We lost 2 at Mt. Rose which means I get to teach PE bc I'm lucky to be at a school that still requires me to do 30 mins a week
My thoughts exactly on an inopportune server crash!
Hey Come check out right now!
wow-we lost 3.5 but lucky we had not filled 1 + is that people go to places they wanted
Ok here's 1 $ to spend on Tech-what's your suggestion-have chormebooks & laptops already
We just had count day, but we were right at our projection, so we won't lose or gain
Q: How are you planning to recharge over the fall break or in the next couple of weeks- what are you doing for you?
we are growing again but in different parts of the valley-its a weird year
Osmo, I have two this year for word sorts
Hack here! Obsved foundations of algebra class-easily one of our most diverse classes ability-wise. Persistence, trust, energy!
Find out what your staff wants to do, figure out what kind of licenses can cover that, Pear Deck, WeVideo, etc.
Still trying to figure out this back in the classroom thing :) no break for me
Joining late. Catching up on convo
tell me more about Pear Deck
no worries we are a small group tonight & topic is open
Is it more inner or the outskirts? Gonna grow a ton in a couple of years with Tesla
was in the south end but now its more in north end-depends on house
is an amazing presentation and formative assessment tool, sky's the limit on its uses!
I have a rep for site licenses, I got 120 for $1500, they usually are $100/person
awesome love to hear your ideas-we have STEM lab & doing Maker space so any ideas
awesome will check it out & pass on
Wish I had my class tech going on day 1, but still waiting on iPads
Right now the kids are teaching me lol
Hauling the camper to Cave Lake in Ely for a few days of camping and fishing with family and friends! https://t.co/oqV5G850AD
Q: How are you planning to recharge over the fall break or in the next couple of weeks- what are you doing for you?
ugg we're waiting on some tech now-Ts are making do but would be easier if we had day 1
I have a ton of info and whatnot, let me know!
right on! we need to meet up next time you're here & do some fishing
hi . So sorry I'm late. Jury duty this week was simultaneously exhilarating and thoroughly exhausting!
. oh wow! Super jealous! Luckily I think I'm going to get 1:1 iPads for my class. Model it for others
will do I'll share with She'd love it saw her doing amazing stuff today with vocab & tech
Awesome! So much they can do. Getting settled with Google and Canvas on iPads right now
no worries its so you haven't missed anything since you bring the topic! Hope you & Zack are good

hi . So sorry I'm late. Jury duty this week was simultaneously exhilarating and thoroughly exhausting!
I heard through the grapevine that Reno will soon get lots of Japanese students soon bc of the growth. I think Panasonic
We got about 6 more minutes tonight but keep sharing
Going to try Aurasma as an extension in robotics tomorrow. Any tips?
CA is bleeding jobs because of their tax system, NV is reaping that!
hey that's new-love we are building more diversity in jobs & population
We have Faraday Future, an electric car company, building a factory about 20 miles north of the valley
Positive energy in wk 6. Been in a ton of classrooms! Challenged by allocation loss that impacts S's & T's in core subject. Grr
I tried to figure out Aurasma- no luck, but I like the idea of the virtual reality component-not user friendly
But we adjust and press on because that's what we do!
I'll let you know how we fare
agree-love the energy I get being in classrooms talking to kids
That will bring some interesting challenges https://t.co/vuR7JB6vl8

yes what we may have seen as traditionally ELL will be different
I'm using Google Translate app with a Chinese speaking student. It's amazing.
A challenge that will be a lot of fun!
I did a project with Aurasma but their app is awkward. Ditto on the idea
we have 5 teachers from Ecuador coming to been using translate to write emails
wish I would have had that my 1st year with 2 Russian Kinders
I've been printing out notes in Chinese side by side with English to help him.
Translate does the Chinese characters and the whole nine? That's AWESOME!
Hey thanks you awesome people for showing up tonight!
Yup! And he is literate in Chinese so it's a big help.
We are open for moderators/co-moderators for the next few chats-interested then shoot me a DM
Great conversation It was nice to just chat at random!
AND if I use the mic feature it says what I say out loud in Chinese and vice Versace when he speaks
nice use case! I have a S I've been using Translate with in my class. Helps!
Good night , favorite time of year bc I can chat during the new season of project runway-a.k.a. My version of maker space
Great chat. Thanks fo thinking of me.
I used to connect kids to short video I made on handout
I dig that show, I have a bit of a man crush on Tim Gunn haha
I know! I love chats. 4 days of jury duty have me so so so far behind in life. but so so grateful
late tonight but my good excuse is I was in for me time got lost but found kit on sale 😊
no worries thats time well spent!
That guy is absolutely brilliant! Proof that appearances can be misinterpreted!
Is your fall break coming up? I have fall conferences and report cards the next 2 weeks then 1st week in Oct off
yeah same early break this year-we should get in some mountain runs if you're in town
I kinda loved it! Such a fascinating way to meet fellow citizens and be part of our government!
