A6: I want to remember to extend the same grace to myself that I give to my students - we’re all in the same boat, learning as we go #edtechchat

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@craigyen we’ve offered a few so far to current HS students and prospective middle schoolers - digital art, ACT bootcamp, and self-care to name a few

A5: conversations and collaborations like these. There’s so much value in bouncing ideas off each other and sharing what works/what doesn’t #edtechchat

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@ms_rich6 Right! I feel like time just flies and suddenly the day is almost over

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A3: I need to be better about setting up a schedule for myself - esp. if we teach from home again in the fall and there is no work/home separation #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A4: YouTube mostly - I’ve been really into practicing yoga lately as a way to relax. And I have a Beachbody account, so I use their app to workout #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A2: it feels like a lot lately, between planning and graduate courses and summer camps. Multiple hours a day, but some days it feels like I’ve got nothing to show for it 🤦‍♀️

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

But! Trying to spend time outside everyday regardless and lots of quality time with my pup

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A1: not much separation - went straight from the end of the school year to virtual summer camps #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

A7: There is WAY more to Alexa than I had previously thought. Never before had I considered its integration into my classroom. Definitely excited to do more research into its hidden (to me) benefits! #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

@annmaria_tierno @juliedavisEDU Thank you!

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@mrs_marshalla @juliedavisEDU Yes!! Or on the other hand, even to set reminders to take breaks, to get up and move - I know I fall into the Screen Trap often and would appreciate reminders to come up for air! #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@juliedavisEDU Definitely not. Technological advancements are SO accelerated and it does not seem like the laws can keep up #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A4: I would say the earlier the exposure, the better! Knowing how many are already in households, many of our students will already be familiar #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@SevonEmily @juliedavisEDU I wasn’t aware of this either! Definitely intrigued to look into it more #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

@juliedavisEDU @msmawhinney Yes, thank you for sharing this resource! #edtechchat

[Anna @Miss_Roach_]

A2: privacy and data concerns of course, but because I do not own one, I would also like to be more comfortable using it myself first! #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

A1: easy to use, and easy to get the (basic) info that you’re looking for - the weather, a certain song, etc., - while your hands are free to do something else
