2020 has been a crazy year, but I am still hopeful we can turn this ship around. Stay safe, make a difference in someone's life, and vote on Nov. 3. Love, Dr. Sparkplug. @ProfSparkplug

@UTACOEd I use the basics of Zoom and Microsoft Teams at the moment, but I did upgrade to a headset and an HD webcam. Your students miss you, whether they will tell you that or not. Show you care. #teachUTA
