Hey teachers- how have you communicated a partnership with, and expectations of parents during Emergency Distance Learning? Specifically with little ones and video conferencing. What are the expectations of parents to help their kiddos stay safe?

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

@marthatbarrett @IUSD @harmony1116 @jwilliamsiusd @TechyLefty @JanFerons Thanks Martha! And thank you to you and your amazing team!

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

This mighty little #IUSDedtech team has done A LOT in the last week. We’re tired. We’re proud. We’re here to support @IUSD!

@ocnikkibru @IUSD @harmony1116 @jwilliamsiusd @TechyLefty @JanFerons Same to you, Nikki! You have done the most amazing things to make sure teachers have everything they need and more.

@cassiepc3 @IUSD @harmony1116 @jwilliamsiusd @TechyLefty @JanFerons Thank you so much! All the same and more applies to you and the unbelievable leadership of our district

@msjung910 @TechyLefty @IUSD Hi there! @TechyLefty just sent an email to you about the specifics on this and what Observers can see with Teacher-Student messaging in Canvas. Let us know if you need any support!

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

Good luck to all the @IUSD teachers out there! You have blown us away by rapidly adapting to provide continuity of instruction through Emergency Distance Learning! #IUSDedtech is here to support you at every turn via EDL Compass Community, webinars & Help Desk! #inittogether

Great workaround for those experience lag time with uploading/processing videos!

[Stacy Yung @stacyyung]

So...high usage of @Screencastify and @GoogleForEdu is breaking the internet... 🙈

My workaround has been to upload the videos to YouTube and sharing the link in Google Classroom. What's nice is that when you click the link, the video pops up and plays in the same screen.

Tech checkout centers extended to 3/20. Distance learning can be accessed from personal devices at home. IUSD Chromebooks not needed but are available for students who need them. Appointments required. More info & locations: https://t.co/64JCsMnAnj Questions: [email protected].

Thank you for sharing your successes, Stacy! We know navigating video conferences and managing students has been a huge learning curve for so many!

[Stacy Yung @stacyyung]

💻 Survived our first Google Meet video conference! 🙌

I had 25/31 homeroom students present and was so happy to see that they took our Video Conference Etiquette infographic very seriously. All muted immediately and used the chat responsibly. ❤️

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

@stacyyung @Flipgrid That would be great (Scott) and adorable!

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

YES!!! Outlining expectations for behavior with students is going to be essential! Thank you @stacyyung!! #IUSDedtech #InItTogether #distancelearning

[Stacy Yung @stacyyung]

*UPDATED* Sorry, ya'll. Staring at a screen too long makes me make too many careless mistakes 😓

Getting ready for our first Google Meet tomorrow and made this Video Conferencing Etiquette...because middle schoolers 😅

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

Teachers! What are some ways in which you hope to approach classroom management in an Emergency Distance Learning situation? #IUSDedtech #distancelearning #classroommanagement

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

OK Twitter...it's been a while. It's time to leverage this incredible community during such unprecedented times. I'd love to be part of connecting educators as we all discover what works well and what we need to adjust. Here we go! #IUSDedtech #distancelearning

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

@stacyyung We're getting so many questions and concerns around classroom management in EDL- specifically with video conferences. This is such a fantastic resource! Thank you for sharing!

[Shaney Berzansky @ShaneyBerzansky]

@stacyyung @jwilliamsiusd This is so amazing!
