@gtchatmod A6 More conversations by phone and face to face when possible are everything! I know they are time consuming, but a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunications happen from both ends when we don't hear tones of voice. #gtchat
@gtchatmod A5 In elementary, Seesaw seems to be a very easy and effective tool for school to home communication. However, I still prefer the use of e-mail because I can schedule replies and important e-mails, this alone relieves a lot of stress for me personally. #gtchat
@mrswallsreads @laughingatchaos I agree @mrswallsreads. I wish I had learned this earlier in my career! I thought the "good teachers" were "always available." ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ #gtchat
@gtchatmod Q3 Sending weekly newsletters about weekly academic objectives and classroom activities really opens the door for more frequent conversations with parents; it helps parents direct their questions and understand what is being expected of their child during the day. #gtchat
Q2. The communication between home and school help me understand the bigger picture of who my students are and what their emotional/academic needs are beyond what I am able to observe in the classroom. #gtchat

Start updating your Seesaw app to 7.6 iOS & Android now so you're ready when the new features are turned on (no action needed for web-based users)!
Teachers- where can one be involved to help change the future of education? Where can we guide friends and family to be voices for our profession, besides voting of course?
Agreed. Our SmartBoards are collecting dust at our school, literally. Itโs tricky enough teaching my students parents to navigate the school iPad ๐ฅด. The iPads seem equally as interactive for the students.
@CaitlinL924 I hope thereโs a huge shift in education. Expecting teachers to fix the current inconsistencies, with the even bigger academic gap caused by Covid, wonโt happen with huge class sizes !
Interesting that @realDonaldTrump only seems to be concerned about his ballot counting while our covid cases and deaths are raising at astronomical rates.
My work computer just told me my screen time has been up this week compared to previous weeks. ๐คฃOh hunny, you havenโt seen nothin yet! #distancelearning#byebyehybrid
My #IM514 project implementation has already begun! A couple of my co workers purchased #playosmo this week for a projector after I demonstrated using it! So perfect for distance learning! @000Dave
The panic switching from hybrid to distance learning is real. Grateful for my masters program at this time in my life providing me with a little technology confidence!
