Considering a transfer to @mybrownschool? We have a very nice staff lounge with new copiers that work, a nugget ice machine, and awesome people to work with. Did you know we are constructing a designated lactation area?

@KauffmanBritton @edutopia Think about how many times you use your phone to help organize your day. Timers, calendar, daily reminder - do we teach kids to use a paper calendar?

Since I've been teaching, I've been working on master schedules... even in my first year of teaching. In every building I've worked in, I've been a part of the process at varying levels of responsibility... some thoughts 1/8

the fact that Fayette County has Chromebooks for every student and yet we're still using Outlook for our student and staff email is kinda silly.
