@WisconsinDPI, I've been trying to resolve a licensure issue since Jan. & haven't gotten anything but autoreply in 7 months. I've tried help tickets. I've tried emails. (DPI has also misspelled my email in the past...) I've tried calling. District HR reached out w/no luck. HELP.

Hey @Seesaw, it’d be great if Ts could upload a class icon once and have it show up in their icon options for all classes instead of having to upload it 22 times in a row to select it for 22 different classes (hypothetically 😉).

Okay, it’s officially a new year - @JenniferHeck2 and @Nickledgb are still doing new staff intros! #raiderstrong

I'm not into public shaming but shame on districts who are making teachers teach both f2f and virtually (just put a camera in your room and record for students at home - what's the big deal?). These are two separate jobs. Students deserve better. Teachers deserve better.

Do I keep my classroom door open to improve air circulation or close it to protect my students from an active shooter? This is just one of the impossible questions teachers are facing this year.

I'm not a historian OR a history teacher
(THE SCHUYLER SISTERS HAD BROTHERS! ELIZA AND ALEX HAD 8 KIDS!)
but we'll talk Hamilton and primary sources and other stuff in like 3 minutes.

Music from another quarantine: “Quarantine Polka,” written by W. F. Strong during a smallpox outbreak in Iowa in 1885. (Thanks to @librarycongress for the piano music & fun fact!)⁣ #blastfromthepast #artistinresidence #quarantinepractice #playathome #stayathome #flute #acapella

@canimmer Especially when I write the directions, record the directions, and post a video of me actually doing the whole activity...and I still get submissions that are nothing like what was described. Oof.

Question for @Seesaw: Is there any talk of creating a setting adjustment in the T view to be able to alphabetize a class by last name instead of by first name? It'd be a lot handier when transferring data/documentation to rosters that are automatically alphabetized by last name.

Me: You know, I feel like Joy. I want you to be happy all the time, but it's okay if you're sad sometimes. You should feel how you feel.

Son: Yeah, and I feel like Goofball Island.

Me: I...okay. Good talk.

@Seesaw @mgsantipulaski @Gantz3rd Fantastic news!!! Many thanks. @smalchow and @amyuelmen, are app updates pushed out automatically, or should I keep compensating or using a backup plan in the meantime?

[Corinne Galligan @cmgalligan]

Hello, @Seesaw peeps. Is there a way y'all could make links typed in activity descriptions clickable? Instead of just being able to include my recorded lessons as links in the activity descriptions, I'm about to go through 23 classes & post announcements with the lesson links.
