Best of luck to you all who start tomorrow! Deep breaths and give yourself grace! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@Alanna2097 @erinlapolla1 SO TRUE! I have to constantly remind myself of this. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@erinlapolla1 A10: I think I'd like to have a journal option open via google form (on my G. Classroom) for those who want to send a private message. Maybe setting them up with the support to do so, would help open a communication?! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@Alanna2097 @ak_leeg @marilyn_jay @erinlapolla1 This is fabulous! Maybe I'll incorporate something like that for those who need an outlet?! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@erinlapolla1 A9: To be honest I don't really know. As of right now I'm focusing on "Social Emotional Learning" strategies, not sure how social justice will come into play, so I am open to ideas. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@marilyn_jay @erinlapolla1 Yes! Straight to the point! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

A8: I think being a global collaborator is fitting. It fosters students working together in a variety of ways, which may look a little different technologically but everyone is valued. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

A7: Google Classroom, PearDeck (for SEL), and Khan Academy for support or "ready to go videos". #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@FurnerAshley You're so right!! I sadly need to shift my focus to make sure I'm advocating for my students with 504 & IEPs. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@erinlapolla1 A6: My middle school is implementing a hybrid model. I think giving students a chance to show their face, change their environment & see teachers in person will help w/ social justice, but certainly will not provide equitable access for all without additional supports. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

Question 7: What piece of technology or digital platform do you think will play the biggest role in meeting social justice goals in your classroom? #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@senora_cordero @kerri_pangburn @barley_ellen What a great idea! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

Question 5: How have you or your school district tried to meet social justice goals or provide equitable access for all for this unique upcoming school year? #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@barley_ellen LOVE THIS!! #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@barley_ellen @ak_leeg I 100% agree. I hope it doesn't leave students feeling uncomfortable, or falling behind. On top of everything else, that'll be another thing to monitor. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@senora_cordero Love 1:1 devices! Everyone is on the same device as their classmates and truly as the same digital access (when provided with wifi). #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

@TaylorDeMarco2 Wow, that's a crazy ratio and speaks for itself. . #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

Question 4: How is there currently a lack of social justice or equity in your school’s system? #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

A5: (Similar to a prior question depending on your approach), making sure the digital supports and platforms are accessible to all and I am supporting my students and their families navigate the digital world. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

A4: Not all families are digital natives or value technology at home. Personal hotspots may be limited or difficult to access. There will be a learning curve for parents and families navigating the digital ed tech world. #instdes20

[Miss McGill @mcgill206]

A3: Making sure all platforms and technology I'm using is available to all on their school-issued chromebooks, while keeping in mind wifi at home may be slow or spotty. Also making sure course overviews and supports are available and easily accessible to all. #instdes20
