@SentandEnt And private buiseness have seemingly, until now, treated telecommuting like an underhanded angle concocted by greedy, do-nothing employees.

[Chris Considine @ChrisConsidine4]

@SentandEnt But were states, private orgaizations or the public at large prepared either? Look at schools, nationwide: many have had the tech infrastructure to sustain remote learning for over a decade, yet user training stayed mostly on the back burner until it was "go time."

Also regarding PDFs... scanning through the Google Drive app under the "New" menu will result in a croppable black and white PDF file. #gafefsu

@mmarotta @csheil A2: This quote really takes the smarmy nature out of the "sales pitch." #gafefsu

@mmarotta @csheil A1: Ken Robinson answers this well in his Ted Talk. Basically, he posits that legislation and standardization have stifled creativity and made school "multiple hour blocks of low-grade clerical work" instead of curious, creative human nature.

Google's using machine learning to fill in dropped parts of speech in "choppy" vtc transmissions... With everything that's been impeded over the last few weeks, tech ingenuity isn't one of them.

These Chrome extensions give users valuable real estate to customize the stark white space of a new browser tab. Add bookmarks, ways to organize open tabs, widgets and more.
Handy for all the online work we're doing lately!

@mmarotta This is great for stitching together small clips from screencastify or IOS... and small clips are great for keeping your narration "umm"-less. I do have to switch between pc and ipad a bit, but the results are more polished than with standalone recordings. iOS > Win10

Getting out in front of the public disapproval as quick as they did, cutting ties with Facebook data-sharing can only bode well for Zoom...

I still want to find a way to present dynamic dropdown options though; one where options are imported from the same Sheet that collects the Form responses. If it exists on the internet, I haven't found it yet. #gafefsu

This useful how-to for adding multiple pathways to your Google Forms makes me miss Microsoft Access a bit less...

Another "Aha!" moment: This past week, I hit a lot of the roadblocks to being creative that Spencer talks about in Launch. It DOES take time to hit your creative groove. Even things like the workflow of mousclicks, creating is WORK before it's rewarding.

Google Slides is up with the times this week; audio recording is long overdue!

@mmarotta @csheil A4: The creativity required to launch real-world learning opportunities like the educational co-op between Sandy Springs and CDC for example, is often "limited by space, time and resources."

@mmarotta @csheil A3: Things highlighted for editing tend to be for more binary, "work/doesn't work"-type changes. Things highlighted for revision may be so just because there's room for improvement.

@mmarotta @csheil Laughing at "lurk..." Indeed, lurking is less than ideal.

[Chris Considine @ChrisConsidine4]

@mmarotta @csheil A2: An authentic audience is important so projects don't go to the refrigerator to die. A culminating exercise that serves the world with an ongoing purpose will leave a more lasting impression on the learner than the classroom-centric novelty of a bulletin board will.

@mmarotta @csheil A1: Give plenty of time for students to hit their stride, dispel fear by sharing ours, abide sensible classroom management strategies, restrict resources by design, promote purpose beyond grades, and convey that the cure to boredom is often a swift kick in the pants.
