Students taking digital AP Exams this year need to take these four steps before they test:
1️⃣ Install the digital testing app
2️⃣ Practice sample questions in the app
3️⃣ Complete exam setup 3 days before the test
4️⃣ Check in 30 minutes before the exam

CSPAN "Cram for the Exam" is a great resource to prep for the digital APGoPo test on 5/20

It's been a minute, folks.
I've been asleep at the wheel on this one. I'm going to blame brain overload.

On a related note: it's AP Exam Season! Good luck on exams, and for my APGoPo lovelies - I'll start bombarding with links.

Promise.

President Biden’s coronavirus relief plan offers bigger aid checks to families than Senate Republicans’ plan, $350 billion for state and local governments and much more money for schools. @AP looks at the details of the vastly different proposals. https://t.co/qpqUleYIwX

It's been FAR 2 long since I've used this acct.
Let's go ahead and blame COVID. Ok. Now. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
I encourage all students - past & present - to examine the meaning of democracy.
Think about its historical, contemporary, and potential meaning.

It's been a while since I've used this account - sorry everyone!

I know it's APUSH, but this would be SO relevant for APGoPo.....I'll be watching. Love that @Lin_Manuel is doing this for students!!

Folks, I'm definitely fan-girling over here.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

Remember all of our discussions about the role of government in balancing individual liberty and societal safety?

This is no longer a hypothetical for you. You are witnessing it in real-time.

[Solon Gov with Lane @SolonGovLane]

The news is hard to read.
Our reality is tough to swallow.
Distance learning has separated us physically from each other.

I miss your smiles.
And our inside-class-jokes.

But if you need me, I am here.
If you need each other, WE ARE HERE.

You know how you all keep asking me why Election Day isn't a holiday?
(side note - local and state level elections matter as much as national elections...)

@ASmithKHS Thanks! She is fine now, but @ time, was terrifying. 3 days after her 3rd bday, shallow breathing, fever, etc. She was tachycardic w/ a fever of 104 and dropping O2 at the ER, so ambulance ride to CCF Main for 24 hr in PICU, then 24 hr reg room. Can't imagine her doing it alone.

[Solon Gov with Lane @SolonGovLane]

A reminder for my students:
On 12/26, my 3yo daughter required almost 24hrs of high flow O2 as a result of pneumonia/RSV. She was one step away from being intubated.
It is unimaginable to me that if this were COVID-19, she would have gone through that entirely alone.
STAY. HOME.
