It is crazy to want to stuff 40 kids into my classroom when bars are closing.

@zoom_us Problems ALL week! Ss can’t get into recurring meetings that I set up in March and don’t stop until June. Some are asked for passwords. What is going on? I can only meet with my students once per week, and they are missing that. Might use Google Hangouts from now on.

Attended a leadership forum with
@Roni_Habib
last night. It was fantastic. I suggest you follow him on Twitter and learn from him.

@GoogleForEdu has posted info for their Teach from Home initiative. It’s “A temporary hub of information and tools to help teachers during the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.” https://t.co/8RQUtBhuZt #teachfromhime #Google #distancelearning #COVID19

@zoom_us is a weird, new-normal for class check-ins, IEP’s, and, as shown here, all-staff meetings. At least I get he hear people’s voices and see people’s faces. #zoom #distancelearning #staffmeeting #SocialDistancing #humanconnection

One of my absolute favorite professors from @SJSU @jlovellsjawp has passed away. I’ll always remember how, with his caring ways and wisdom, Dr. Jonathan Lovell made me a better teacher. #rip #sjsu #mentor #secondaryteaching #sjawp

WOW! It’s official. No school for the rest of the year. I so much miss my students :( At least there’s @zoom_us #COVID #schoolclosure #distancelearning2020 #distancelearning #missmystudents #zoom #virtuallearning

[Joseph Frankina III @JosephFrankina3]

Some essential settings for teachers to improve your Zoom meetings. I'm not too worried about using @zoom_us with my Ss. They are good kids. But with change comes the opportunity for nonsense :) https://t.co/9gJAzc13bj #zoommeeting #zoombombing #distancelearning #TeachFromHome

Found some good ideas from @mullalyteach for using @zoom_us #zoom #distancelearning #Covid_19 #technologyintheclassroom

I was sad that I didn’t plan on going to #SpringCUE but now it’s virtual! Happy I can learn from @cueinc , but not so much, because of the circumstances. #virtuallearning #virtualspringcue #COVID19 #svcue #CUE

[Joseph Frankina III @JosephFrankina3]

I’m now using @zoom_us for department meetings, to train teachers on Google Classroom, and, starting next week, to work with students. Remember folks, mute your mics if not speaking! :) #zoom #videoconference #distancelearning #MuteYourMic #VirtualBackground

Hate to have to put this out, but too many people are reposting this ridiculous “self-check.” Please read the CNN article if you’re inclined to believe unsupported Facebook and Twitter posts for medical advice. https://t.co/I9XROq3J7b #COVID19 #selfcheck #symptoms #COVIDー19

@SVCUE support for at-home learning. A lot are using distance-learning now (our district is not). It can be challenging for the educators who are not used to it. @cueinc and @SVCUE are always great resources! https://t.co/c3KxoLXwsQ #distancelearning #COVIDー19 #schoolclosure

Around noon on Friday, I’m told I have four weeks off. 50% of summer! Surreal. Now what? #COVID19 #vacation #schoolsclosed #coronavirus #nowwhat #WashYourHands #surprisevacation #surreal
