@NPR Our school district in Alaska has been happily using Zoom for 2 years. The quality has been vastly better than Google Meet. Zoom was quick to send out updates and privacy recommendations when the “ZoomBombing” started. As tech mgr for our district, I am happy to stay with Zoom.

Great project to do with ZLAP at our school. Have students collect Halloween candy wrappers and send them to @TerraCycle. #ZLAP #dbsd #DontFeedTheLandfills #StartTheWave

@jethrojones I’m using it to help some students organize their service learning projects. It makes it easy to share with people outside of the school district. They can attach files, make checklists and add due dates.

Had a great time at ASTE. I’ve got great ideas about how to improve technology in my school district. #ASTE19 https://t.co/mZHZ884ajl

@jmichaud_ak I understand the district’s budget. We don’t have a IT budget. We just ask for stuff and keep a good relationship with the superintendent.
