Today, we learned how to write directions! Shared this vid with my M/S TechEd kids along with this challenge: Write a set of instructions on how to tie shoelaces, share w/ parents & have them role-play to critique your work. @WCPSS_CTE@MPMSleopards@WCPSS

@TheWeirdTeacher @KimAtKagan it does get easier & more manageable!!! Kids start to find their groove, tech issues iron out, you start learning all the workarounds, and you find yourself adjusting your expectations to meet reality.
Hang in there, you got this! 😎
@WeAreTeachers Teachers pick your battles! I consider it a bonus if the student even has their webcam on. PJs are such a non-factor imo as long as they aren’t too revealing or distracting to the class.
Want kids to enjoy your class? Don’t nitpick. It’s that simple. ✌️
@TheWeirdTeacher@car724 Doug (et al), I’m already 3 weeks in, middle school remote teaching only (and as you know, I also have a student teacher). I’m not gonna try to be the cheerleader that you don’t want in the first place. I will tell you though that it DOES get a little easier as each week passes.
@TheWeirdTeacher Seriously, “Interesting” is a word that I’ve heard quite often among fellow educators in the last weeks. Thanks for the great and helpful read. I’ll keep you posted.
