FYI to all my NYS educators

This will help us reduce density and reduce the spread of this virus. #COVID19

@AcademicChatter I have a running list of three columns “do it, doing it, and done” that way I can see how much I’ve gotten done, what I’m actively working on, and what I have to do, but haven’t touched in awhile. It also feels great to see that “done” column fill up!

[Samantha Calkins @GirlSam__]

My students: We can use our books on the final right?
Me:
