@TCEA I’m so disappointed that there isn’t a virtual option to attend this year. It gave people like me that can’t travel there and spend a week attending a chance to have access to some amazing content.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@teachlikeaninja Microsoft Sway is a great option for that @MSAUedu

[Phil Whitehead @Teachblend]

🚨Need some custom announcement banners for @MicrosoftTeams ? 🚨

Featuring favourite apps such as @ClickViewUK & @wakelet use these to highlight activities and superb tools that work inside of Teams.

Have a request let me know 😉

@mrtoblerstech That’s so exciting!! Congratulations 🎈🍾

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

Loving that I can attend #TCEA22 online this year! Quick question: does anybody know how we get certificates to prove we took the online sessions? @tcea

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@mrtoblerstech @FSHISD So jealous! I’m just doing an online package this year. Hope you have fun!

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@MicrosoftEDU I’m no longer affiliated with a specific school/district. Can I get my account switched over to a personal email so I can stay up-to-date and not lose all of my progress? #MIEExpert

@MsKWoodsFMS @ModestTeacher Former teacher in TX. I can, unfortunately, confirm this. We had a student that was supposed to be in 8th brought to 6th that had been “homeschooled.” He didn’t know his letters or numbers. TX has very little oversight. Most do it the right way, but some parents have no business

@PotteryBarnKids @westelm please help! This is NuNu, by 3 year old daughter’s best friend. Her new sister is obsessed with him, too. I wanted to get her her own for her 1st birthday in a couple weeks, but I can’t find him anywhere! Are there any more hidden in a warehouse?

@shirky17 @OhHowCivilized Also before people jump on me about sun tea here’s the science: https://t.co/v4nMQxaKj1

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@shirky17 Cold brew in the fridge is the best if you remember to do it in time. Don’t do sun tea, because it can breed bacteria. Check out @OhHowCivilized for all the tips and tricks. I’m obsessed with tea and have learned a lot from her.

@TacoCabana I couldn’t use my rewards or the rainy day coupon today because your app can’t do math. Someone needs to fix this ASAP.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@olivegarden DM sent. Thanks for following up.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@olivegarden please fix your app. When creating your own pasta, every topping is automatically turned on. When selecting the topping you want, you’re actually turning it off. I spent $25 trying to order spaghetti and meatballs for my toddler. It had every meat, except meatballs.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@Gplastrik @codebreakeredu My frustration is that some Ts use such a narrow definition of “advanced”, and limit it to classroom performance. Ss might demonstrate advanced skills in maker activities if given the chance, which can open them up to more opportunities.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@Gplastrik @codebreakeredu You are absolutely right. As a former teacher and GT kiddo myself, it’s been my experience that GT kids are sometimes MORE underserved because teachers have to dedicate some much time working with the kids that are struggling because of high-stakes testing.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

@ktenkely @spencerideas I told my husband the same thing. They need to have a 30 minute delay so fact checkers can flash corrections on the screen when we watch.

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

Here are a few of my favs:
Office Ladies @officeladiespod, Minor Adventures with Topher Grace @MinorAdventures, David Tennant Does a Podcast With...@DavidTennantPod, and EdTech in Ten (obviously) 😜

[Laura Carr @LauraBCarr]

I want to put together a list of podcasts to recommend to teachers for listening over the break while they relax. They don’t have to be related to education. What do you recommend?
