With the craziness of it all, I often have to remind myself and others that this has never been done before. And you know what, we have rocked it! Even with all the constant up hill climbs, new guidance, constant changes, teachers have been doing amazing work.#VanguardPOP

@KJCLeo Great questions tonight! Thank you!

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

@FlayhartC Let's look into this!

[Christina Maragioglio-Esposito @techiecme]

Q4 Also, there is an awesome new app coming out called @Voiceitt, a voice-recognition communication aid for people with non-standard speech, that I am super excited for! #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

A4- @TalkingPointsEd I forgot to tag! #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

A4- I've used TalkingPoints as a way to communicate with parents/guardians this year. It also translates messages into other languages! #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

@manelayub Yes! This is an AMAZING tool!

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

Q3-I think the consistency of having 1 technology platform has helped students with executive functioning needs. They can locate all class materials in once place. I've also seen more task analysis and checklists which are very beneficial. #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

@KJCLeo Our school system uses Google Read Write. Since the pandemic, all students have access to this great tool. #coteachat

[Sara Alexander @SAlexander_FCPS]

A2- Yes @SenseiFredsMojo , you took my answer for Q2! It has allowed students to become more comfortable with demonstrating their learning in different ways/platforms. #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

A1-All of the sharing features that Google brings. It allows teachers to co-plan/ collaborate much more easily and effectively. There are great user friendly apps for parents/guardians that have been a game changer. #coteachat

[Allison Szot @AllisonSzot]

@KJCLeo @Google @MicrosoftTeams Yes!! The sharing feature is a complete game changer!! The co-planning and collaboration can occur outside of meeting face-to-face and/or virtual
